Asset Management and Maintenance Conference and Exhibition
The NHF's Asset Management and Maintenance Conference and Exhibition returns to Coventry for 30th anniversary edition on 12-13 October 2022. As an asset management professional you have a critical role to play within a housing association. You’re at the forefront of delivering key government initiatives on decarbonisation and building safety, and you need to meet the expectations of your board, leadership team, the Regulator, Ombudsman, investors, and other stakeholders. All of this means that you and your team are more accountable than ever before, while juggling the competing demands of ensuring effective control of operations, maintenance and repairs. Not to mention demonstrating that you have strategic oversight of decision-making and a clear understanding of your housing association’s assets and liabilities. This year’s conference will give you the tools to stay ahead of the government’s new regulations, inform you of the latest strategic thinking, and equip you with the best practices to manage the everyday demands of your role. There has never been a more critical time to discuss, think and act on asset management and maintenance – join us in Coventry on 12-13 October.
