Alongside our advisory board of top leaders and practitioners in the sector and beyond, the NHF and CIH are creating an event that's truly for the sector by the sector.

Across more than 80 sessions, we'll be covering all the business-critical topics affecting social housing in 2025 and beyond. The programme is already shaping up, so this is your opportunity to get your organisation on the agenda.

We're particularly interested in hearing from organisations who can share best practice examples on the following topics:
