Accommodation
To secure a room at Mercure Cardiff at our discounted price, please call the reservations team on 02920 435 012. Please note you will need to provide credit card details to secure the bedroom reservation.
Please note bedrooms are allocated on a first come first served basis. We recommend booking as early as possible, however, the discounted rate will end on 12 November.
We can't wait to see you in person on the evening of 12 December in the Calon Suite at the Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel.
During the evening, we will recognise excellence in the Welsh housing sector and guests will hear shortlisted entries, as well as a short interview with each of the winning organisations. It's an excellent way to hear first-hand about the extraordinary work going on in the Welsh housing sector, sharing stories, good practices and recognising the achievements of our young housing professionals, leaders, tenants, customers and housing teams.
After the awards, there will be an opportunity for you to catch up with colleagues and share good practices and success stories from the past year in our private bar area.
There's no formal dress code for our awards - please wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

Our CIH events are built for our members, with content centred around current issues and inner workings of the sector. We would ask all individuals who attend our CIH event to be kind to all, act with integrity and respect, maintain a professional demeanour, and be accountable and responsible during your time with us.
Making this event more sustainable
We believe we have a responsibility to be more sustainable across our organisation and this means making positive changes to the way we run our events. This event will be delivered to the highest quality whilst we also ensure they reduce our environmental impact.
Here is a summary of some of the steps we are taking to do this:
- Sourcing venues that align with our sustainability pledge
- Reducing our event printing – we have already started this by no longer printing our good practice compendium. We’re making sure all necessary information is available digitally on our new website
- Where printing is necessary, sustainable and recyclable materials will be used as much as possible
- Catering will be responsibly sourced
- Ensuring our suppliers are using recyclable materials where possible
- All CIH staff will aim to minimise carbon footprint for each journey, and we will encourage our guests to do the same.
