May 29, 2013
Over 110 people attended The Empty Homes Conference 2013 on May 21st and the average feedback was the highest to date of all our Conferences at over 4.4 out of 5. Delegates enjoyed a packed programme that seems to have lived up to the promise of Innovation Information Inspiration. We were pleased to welcome Don Foster, MP, whose forceful speech made it clear that he wanted to continue the work already begun by the Coalition and who was keen to ackowledge the contribution of the empty homes practitioners present.
