We are delighted to be heading towards the biggest attendance we’ve ever had for our National Conference. Delegates include housing associations and local councils, contractors and developers, suppliers and manufacturers, specialist consultancies, and representatives from central government departments and agencies including Homes England and the GLA.
Earlier this year we published our ‘Housing Solutions’ policy proposals, which set out the key housing policy changes needed to deliver housing and ensure a quality home for all. The conference builds upon that with focus on the key challenges and actions for housing sector itself and what we all need to do for successful housing delivery.
There are two free tickets for our members and one complimentary ticket for our local authority members.
Additional and non-member tickets can be purchased.
