The Housing and Build to Rent conference will see some of the country’s biggest names in the housing and residential market discuss industry challenges, opportunities and best practice, at a time when collaboration, knowledge sharing and thought-leadership has never been so important.
“Collaboration, knowledge sharing and networking has never been more important – but it’s also never been more difficult – and this event breaks down the barriers to connect people in a way events haven’t done before.”
