The biggest data event dedicated to the housing sector returns on Thursday 6 October 2022 at Birmingham’s stunning Rep Theatre and we're excited to share the first glimpse of the programme with you.
Packed full of hot topics, expert speakers and valuable content, Housemark’s Housing Data and Analytics Summit will help you to explore the value and potential data can bring to your organisation and think differently about how you use it.
This year’s key themes include:
- The importance of data-driven customer insight and engagement
- What is data literacy and why is it important?
- Leveraging data to drive solutions and technology decisions
- How businesses benefit from a data-driven culture
There will be seven additional sessions for you to choose from, plus a choice of eight roundtable discussions (covering key topics including data trends, data quality and strategy, data security and customer and employee data). Presentations focusing on a range of topics – from how to educate your organisation to understand and articulate the problems that data can solve, to how intelligent data analysis can increase your organisation’s resilience and keep it a step ahead of the cost of living crisis –will provide you with vital insights and ideas to take back to your workplace. With networking opportunities throughout the day and a closing drinks reception, it promises to be an unmissable day!
We’re thrilled to be joined by the four headline speakers we’ve announced so far, Clive Humby OBE, Nicola Askham, Jordan Morrow and Robin Sutara. Further speakers will be announced soon – watch this space.
