Join us at our flagship event for young housing professionals
With innovative and informative sessions to support you and the Scottish housing sector, this is the must-attend event for young professionals looking to build their network, develop new skills and challenge the status quo.
In this session, you will grow from good to great as we discuss the importance of housing and why the next generation are key to the future of the sector.
Facilitator: Eileen McCallum
Eileen McCallum is a popular trainer with over 46 year's experience in Social Rented Housing. She began training for the Chartered Institute of Housing in 1987 and quickly became a sought-after trainer due to her depth of knowledge and her engaging style.
The Pathways Paradox is a game that highlights the challenges, opportunities, and barriers within the housing system. It energises participants, bringing together diverse perspectives to explore what truly works in future-proofing homes and communities. By tackling the complex links between housing, employment, and support services, the game encourages deeper understanding and drives discussions about the need for systemic change.
Facilitator: Professor Vikki McCall
Get to understand what is happening in Scottish housing today. Going round in teams you will hear from sector experts about how different work streams are impacting our sector, all before we discuss what role we can all play to inform future direction.
Discussion topics include:
- Housing Bill
- Professionalism
- Net Zero
- Housing Emergency
- Community Housing
- Regulation
The one thing we can all agree on is very few of us know where to start with AI and Robotics. At this session we start with a 'guided tour' - where we can unpick some common problems within organisations, and look at creative ways to solve them and start on those journeys.
Facilitators: Waterstons (AI specialists)
Regardless of your role, nurturing resilience and prioritising wellbeing is crucial in today's workforce, making this event perfect for all professionals and staff who wish to improve their capacity to recover, thrive during challenges, and boost their mental wellness.
This dynamic session offers practical tools and strategies for handling workplace challenges and maintaining peak performance.
Trainer: Christopher Green
Christopher is a lecturer in initial teacher education at Queen Margaret University and teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate students. He is also involved in the Forest and Outdoor Learning Awards (FOLA), which sits within the University's Sustainable Human Behaviour module.
Given that our Scottish events sell out quickly, book early to avoid disappointment and join us in building a Scotland where everyone has a place to call home.
