National Housing Summit 2023 brochure
This September the ICC, Birmingham will host the biggest conversations in social housing. More than 8 million people in England have some form of unmet housing need. The cost of living crisis is making life tougher for our residents. It's vital our sector can provide safe and affordable homes. On 11 and 12 September, we will be asking how we do this with policymakers, experts, and other sectors. This will likely be our last summit before a general election. So, we are thrilled to be hosting speakers like Alastair Campbell and The Spectator's Isabel Hardman. It's our mission for everyone to return with something for their residents. So, we will be running mentoring and learning from our Future Housing Leaders' hub. You can also expect plenty of networking and a chance to roam our vibrant knowledge fair. The National Housing Summit is where we come together to champion the core purpose of housing associations. We hope you will join us.

Meeting our challenges<br />
with confidence.<br />
Dear colleague,<br />
I am excited that the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Summit</strong> <strong>2023</strong> is<br />
now well and truly on its way. I always look forward to<br />
times when we get to come together as a sector. This feels<br />
especially vital as this could be our last <strong>Summit</strong> before a<br />
General Election.<br />
The past year has been difficult, not just for our<br />
organisations and residents, but for millions of individuals<br />
and families in housing need. I don’t have to outline<br />
the importance of the work housing associations do.<br />
We all see this on a daily basis. But, when we gather in<br />
Birmingham, we have a chance to break from what we do<br />
daily and make the case for our sector in a time of change<br />
and opportunity.<br />
I want to thank our events team, advisory boards, and<br />
everyone involved in this year’s conference for making this<br />
possible. We are all looking forward to what comes from<br />
our Election Hackathon and hearing from people like Andy<br />
Street and Fiona MacGregor. I am especially proud of our<br />
Future <strong>Housing</strong> Leaders hub, which gives the future of our<br />
organisations the chance to be involved.<br />
The theme of <strong>Summit</strong> <strong>2023</strong> is “Championing our core<br />
purpose”. Our sector has been through a particularly<br />
challenging time. This event will focus on what we have<br />
learnt, how we are providing solutions to problems, and<br />
what more we can do. I truly believe we solve many of the<br />
larger issues in housing and society and that we want to<br />
do even more.<br />
It has never felt more important to make this last point.<br />
Even if this were not a pre-election <strong>Summit</strong>, the challenges<br />
around the cost of living and finance would make that the<br />
case. I hope that we all leave the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Housing</strong> <strong>Summit</strong><br />
with the energy to meet these challenges and confidence<br />
in our purpose.<br />
I look forward to seeing you in Birmingham.<br />
