The Social Housing (Regulation) Act has heralded a new era of reform, with a clear mandate to place tenants at the centre of social housing policies. In this climate of heightened accountability, where the Housing Ombudsman’s vigilant oversight and the transformative imperatives of Awaab’s Law are resetting standards for landlord services, housing providers are faced with the pressing need to evolve.
Never has there been a greater need for proactive engagement and transformative action to meet and exceed the emerging expectations within the sector.
The Housing Innovation Show returns in 2026 to the same venue, The International Convention Centre (ICC), Birmingham. The event is once again free to attend for social housing professionals and affirms its status as the UK’s most comprehensive showcase of housing innovation and transformation.
With an agenda crafted to cover a broad spectrum of critical innovations across building safety, resident care & engagement, asset management, finance, customer experience, data & artificial intelligence, cyber security, modern methods of construction, and the pivotal areas of retrofit and decarbonisation — the event promises an exploration of the future of social housing and, most significantly, how providers can work smarter and more efficiently to better support their customers.
At the first Housing Innovation Show in 2024, CIH President Jill Murray took to the main stage to announce her presidential campaign, ‘BE EPIC’, “which is about the important role that we each play in delivering positive change to people’s lives by being the best professionals that we can be”.
And this goes straight to the heart of what the Housing Innovation Show is all about: How we harness the relevant tools to enhance performance and ultimately deliver great homes, services and the positive change that the sector needs.
And as the Housing Ombudsman’s Director of Quality, Engagement and Development, Kathryn Eyre pointed out, “Good governance and culture, combined with strong data and information management is a sound foundation for delivering better services to residents”.
