Comms & Influencing in Housing is a new event from the National Housing Federation, designed to equip housing associations with tools and strategies to enhance communication and influencing skills to shape the sector’s future and drive change.
Join us in London on Tuesday 21 January
The conference will provide a collaborative space for communications and external affairs professionals to engage in debate, learn from key experts and develop connections nationwide. You’ll come away with new tools to navigate challenges and leverage new opportunities to do more for your tenants and residents.
