Housing, the Chartered Institute of Housing’s annual conference – and what is said to be Europe’s largest housing festival – returns to its usual timeline and will take place 28-30 June at Manchester Central.

All this sits under the umbrella of what drives us all across this sector: ensuring the needs of tenants and residents at the heart of our endeavours.
Housing will bring over 150 hours of CPD accredited content covering the economic landscape, building safety, homelessness, housing delivery, affordability, funding, climate change and lots more of relevance to everyone working in UK housing.
