Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH)

Supporting housing professionals to create a future in which everyone has a place to call home.

The NHF and CIH are back with the UK’s most collaborative housing conference, with coordinated themes across the venue, delegates can choose between the Community Access Pass (free for CIH members) and the Full Summit Pass (strategic, high-level insight and leadership networking). Shared networking and the exhibition sit at the heart of the event. Book your tickets now for 8-9 September 2026 in Liverpool.

The standard is being implemented in the social housing sector in 2026, and means managers will need to be fully qualified in a relevant subject. The change also brings with it the chance to raise professionalism in the sector.

Our flagship event in Scotland, the place to debate, learn and shape the future of the housing sector.

Be part of the CIH Northern Housing Festival and connect with housing professionals, politicians, practitioners and tenants exploring the North's housing challenges and opportunities.
