Networking and fringe

"One of the most important housing sector events of the year!"

Jason Wroe, chief executive, Newydd Housing Association

"Really enjoyed this year’s conference. Excellent opportunity to network with fellow professionals, gain valuable insight from industry experts and increase my knowledge and professional development. I've also gathered a number examples of sector good practice that I'm able to apply within my own organisation."

Barry Rees, housing services manager, Wyedean Housing Association

"Housing was a great event, I met both existing contacts and I also met a number of new contacts who I know I will be working with in the coming months ahead. It was a great opportunity to see the market leaders in person and to network face to face once again."

Paul Halpin, head of leasehold, income and resident engagement, Westminster City Council

"A great few days, networking with others within the sector. Meeting new people and suppliers. A must visit for anyone within the housing sector."

Duncan Palmer, head of service, Platform Housing Group

"As vice-chair of a medium sized housing association I found the event illuminating, the quality of the delegate sessions was excellent. I came away with a much better understanding of the sector today and more importantly where its heading tomorrow. The opportunity to hear informed debate from credible industry figures was simply invaluable."

Mike Lawton, board member, Aspire Housing

"A fantastic few days! A great opportunity to network with colleagues from across the sector and soak up much needed information to enable me to grow as a housing professional."

Cllr Danny Nicklen, senior continuous improvement manager, The Riverside Group 

"Housing was brilliant. Being surrounded by people who all share a belief in home as a fundamental human right is inspiring and infectious - I've never felt more convinced that we work in the best sector there is!"

Rosie Hazeldine, research, policy and inclusion partner, settle

"First time attending this event and it did not disappoint! Event was well organised with something to meet everyone's service area. Was great to meet up with suppliers and learn about all the new technology and ways of working, along with meeting our new partners."

Steven Hayes, project delivery coordinator, Places for People

"What sets Housing apart, is not just the deep sector knowledge and passion of the team at Ocean Media but the sense of community they forge so that even as the event gets larger, the sense of community and belonging and deep desire to learn and be our best, seems to emanate from every corner of the conference and exhibition hall."

Sarah Daly, associate director sustainability, Turner & Townsend

"Another excellent conference, for all."
