We are delighted to announce the launch of the National Housing Federation Housing Finance Conference and Exhibition, the conference will explore the latest developments in housing finance and provide a national forum to the best of the best from housing associations and their partners across the UK.
We are therefore on the hunt for the best examples of excellence in housing finance. Whether you want to suggest a topic that needs to covered, shout about a great case study, or nominate a speaker on a specific subject, we want to hear about your experiences and insights.
While we are interested to learn what you think are the current priorities for your organisations, we are particularly keen to showcase examples and case studies of excellence and innovation in the following key areas:
Business transformation - Investing in technology and innovation - Development finance - Funding and investment - Managing risk - Financial viability and sustainability
We are primarily seeking contributions and case studies directly from housing associations. However, where commercial organisations working with the sector wish to be involved in the event, we are currently seeking a limited number of content partners for the conference. This provides a chance to play a role in shaping the agenda for the event and an opportunity to deliver thought leadership at the conference. Please get in touch if you would be interested in learning more about these commercial opportunities.
