Conference latest

With Andrew Stunell now a confirmed speaker, a more detailed Event Programme has been published for the National Empty Homes Conference taking place in Birmingham on Tuesday May 29th. Some details are still awaited but the confirmed speakers already offer a mouth-watering array of sessions. Many authorities are taking advantage of the low prices and substantial discounts for extra delegates to book multiple places so we seem to be on track for a good turnout. Meanwhile, an updated version of the booking form was created last Friday, making it clearer that any Purchase Orders need to cite Rochdale Housing Initiative as the supplier, not the Empty Homes Network. So if you had downloaded the booking form before then, you may want to download the more recent version (though earlier versions are perfectly serviceable). We'll be publishing information about travel and accommodation options shortly. The full Event Programme is attached to this news story and is also attached to the main event listing.
