Housing Governance 2024 | National Housing Federation | 18 June 2024 | Royal College of Physicians, 11 St Andrews Pl, London NW1 4LE, UK

This is our annual event for governance professionals to learn and network. This conference is a chance to build resilience during challenging times. We aim for your team to leave confident in delivering good governance for your organisation.

The agenda for this year’s conference addresses the role of governance in a changing regulatory landscape. The consumer standards enforced from April are the subject of our opening session. We will discuss how governance teams can help boards embed the new requirements and the Regulator’s stronger enforcement powers.

We will explore Regulatory Inspections and how the consumer standards are affecting these. This event will also answer the question: what is the threshold for self-referral when it comes to consumer regulation?

This conference will also feature sessions on career development, EDI and artificial intelligence. You will also find opportunities for personal and professional development at this event and, of course, there will be plenty of time to meet and network with other governance teams and boards.
