With three months to go before the Housing Technology 2014 conference and executive forum, we are delighted to reveal a fantastic line-up of speakers from housing providers of all sizes from across the country.
Housing Technology 2014 returns to the Q Hotels’ Oxford Belfry on 26-27 February 2014. We have extended the event to two days (with the option of attending either or both days) to allow more presentations, greater scope for networking and more time to visit the sponsor and exhibition area. There will also be an evening drinks reception on Tuesday 25 February and an informal dinner on the evening of 26 February.
Sponsored by Aareon, Orchard, Sovereign Business Integration Group and The Housing Contact Company, the key themes for the 2014 conference and executive forum are:
- IT transformation & business change
- Universal credit, welfare reform and digital inclusion
- Omni-channel communications, social media and customer experience
- BYOD & IT consumerisation
- Core applications: housing, finance, asset & performance management and mobile working
- Data analytics and visualisation
- Cloud computing & network infrastructure
