"I'm very proud that my son and his partner are now part of this industry. They are introducing a new innovation, Uplift Microhomes, a 60 square foot microhome solution...immediate self-sufficiency in a disaster zone."

Trevor O'Leary and Charlie Nitschelm recently won the Innovation Award at MIT for the forklift-deployable, battery-powered microhomes that are designed for rapid disaster relief housing.
This is the last year that the Governor's Hurricane Conference is being held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. It moves to Orlando in 2027 after several years in West Palm Beach.
