Explore this year’s Housemark Leadership Conference Event Programme
Across the UK, organisations are navigating sustained uncertainty driven by geopolitical instability, economic pressures, rapid digital change, and continuous shifts in law, regulation, and housing policy. As one of the fastest‑evolving sectors, social housing leaders are balancing rising expectations, financial constraint and regulatory scrutiny — while still being expected to set clear direction and deliver meaningful impact.
In this environment, confidence doesn’t come from having all the answers. It comes from judgment, clarity and the ability to lead decisively through change.
That’s why senior leaders from across the sector will come together this June for the Housemark Leadership Conference 2026 — our flagship event focused on supporting leaders to navigate uncertainty and shape what comes next.
This year’s conference goes beyond theory‑led thinking to address the real leadership challenges facing organisations today. From policy reform and financial resilience, to AI, digital maturity and human‑centred leadership, the 2026 programme is designed to help leaders make better decisions in complex, fast‑moving conditions.
The newly released event programme reflects the realities of leading in social housing right now. The day will open with a welcome from Housemark CEO, Rob Griffiths and Associate Director, Amanda Leonard, setting the context for a sector at a pivotal moment. From there, the agenda brings together influential voices and sector leaders to explore how leadership must adapt to reform, risk, and rising expectations.
Sessions focus on practical insight rather than abstract models, sharing lessons from those leading major organisational change, managing risk, embedding technology responsibly and sustaining strong cultures through uncertainty. The conference also creates space for open, honest discussion with peers, offering leaders time to step back from day‑to‑day pressures and challenge their thinking.
Why attend?
For senior leaders shaping the future of social housing, this conference provides insight on policy reform, AI, financial resilience and major organisational change, helping you lead with confidence, strengthen values‑led leadership and shape what comes next.
