Liverpool is to play host to a major social housing event when the Social Housing Conference returns to the BT Convention Centre on November 11 for the second year running.

The event which is aimed at all those operating in the sector is returning following the resounding success of the event last year which saw more than 100 delegates and 20 exhibitors attend from across the UK. The event is organised by Mitchell Charlesworth and Brabners Chaffe Street (both of which have significant experience in the social housing sector), and is sponsored by Arena Housing Group and the Harvest Housing Group with additional support from Riverside Housing Group Limited.

Mitchell Charlesworth Partner and social housing specialist Paul Wainwright said: “We believe this is one of the very best conferences of its kind in the UK. If you work in the sector we think it will provide a platform for high quality networking, unparalleled access to key players and really informative background on how the sector is performing and what it needs to do to grow.”

Alistair Fletcher, Partner at Brabners Chaffe Street and head of one of the largest social housing specialist legal teams in the North West said: “The event will analyse the key sector areas of regeneration and green energy and our key speakers will give a definitive insight into the challenges and opportunities that exist within the sector.”
