When we set out to make the first ever tiny house conference we wanted to be sure that it was going to be as affordable as possible. It takes a lot to pull off an event like this, but we were smart about the decisions we made. The biggest thing was the venue we have chosen. We got a lot of quotes for spaces of $10,000 and up for this event and that was bare bones! We knew that wasn’t going to work for you all. So Instead we found a nature preserve that is more the speed of tiny house folks anyway and meant we could charge a few hundred dollar less for folks to come! On top of that we have these tips for you:
- If you are not able to afford a ticket, try applying for one of our 15 “pay what you can” tickets and volunteer in lieu of payment. Get details here
- Bring a tiny house! Have a tiny house? You can get a free ticket if you’re house is accepted, details here
- Hitch a ride, make new friends. Our car pooling section will help you find people to share the ride with and save on gas money Check out the forum here
- Camp or couch surf instead of staying in a hotel, don’t forget that camp sites allow for 5 people per site, so if you have a group you can save big. But note one car per site Check out the forum here
- Bring your own food. There is a grocery store not too far from the event, grab your food at a grocery store or bring it with you.

Thanks Joe! We tried to be smart about things, but there are some costs you can’t get away from or can reduce only so much. We tried to find a balance between having a good event and ticket price.
