National Housing Conference and Exhibition

 Thurs 17th – Fri 18th September 2020 |  09:00am – 4:30pm |  Grand Central Hotel, 99 Gordon Street, Glasgow, G1 3SF

2020 brings an exciting new era for the annual TIS National Housing Conference and Exhibition, which will transform the event experience for housing organisation professionals and tenant delegates alike. We’ve rejuvenated the conference format; streamlined the event to two days; shifted the occasion to mid-week; and selected a venue central to Glasgow city.

The new and dynamic agenda boasts an unrivalled line-up of expert speakers, engaging debates and discussions; ample networking opportunities; meaningful workshops; interesting study tours; supports peer-to-peer learning; and brings the sector together to drive forward as a collective and change housing in Scotland for the better.

Hugely inspiring, the event will explore creative approaches to ensure we build a housing system that is resilient enough to respond to future changes, and tackle some of the most pertinent challenges. Harnessing the specialisms within TIS, we’ve designed a well-balanced programme that will embody five themes across a two-day format. This will ensure delegates achieve the maximum fulfilment out of their experience at the TIS National Housing Conference and Exhibition 2020.
