Data Matters 2024
About the event
Data matters. Good data and sound data management strategies must be the foundation of all housing providers’ operations, spanning technology, properties, tenants, staff and finance. Now in its fourth consecutive year, Housing Technology’s one-day Data Matters 2025 event will cover all aspects of data in social housing, with a very timely emphasis on data standards alongside artificial intelligence. Details of the presentations and technology showcase will be published from June 2025 onwards.
The key themes for Data Matters 2025 will be:
- Why sector-wide data standards benefit housing providers and tenants
- Using data standards to make data interoperable between application silos
- Demonstrating how data standards and AI can democratise data across an organisation
- ‘Rubbish in, rubbish out’ – the importance of good data for successful AI programmes
- How AI can transform routine data management tasks
- Using AI to mine your structured & unstructured TSM data
- Why good governance and regulatory compliance both need data standards and AI
- Pitfalls and tips for using AI within data management
Following the success of our previous three events, Data Matters 2025 will feature a brilliant selection of 100 per cent data- and AI-focused presentations from selected housing providers on their data-specific experiences, recommendations, pitfalls to avoid and ongoing results. The event will include a data- and AI-led technology showcase of IT suppliers and, of course, unrivalled opportunities for informal networking with your peers.
Ticketing will be launched on 1st June 2025. Click below to find out more.

The quality of speakers was excellent and their insight was very valuable. The more we share in the sector, the better.
CHP
Excellent combination of the housing sector and data professionals exchanging ideas and innovations.
Platform Housing Group
A fantastic opportunity to get together with other organisations and talk about the data that matters to you!
Sovereign Housing
Events like these are crucial to help us consider different views, gain insight and perhaps walk away with a solution or idea for a particular problem. The wealth of knowledge and the methods used by the key speakers are invaluable, perhaps more so than some training events that I have been to.
Optivo
The event (Data Matters) was extremely interesting and touched on many relevant challenges facing the sector in the coming years.
Yorkshire Housing
Ideal for networking but also useful to look at emerging technologies.
Southway Housing Trust
Invaluable networking opportunity.
Two Saints
Great event. Excellent for networking, but also for meeting relevant providers and understanding where other organisations' future plans are and aligning those with your own.
Rosebery Housing Association
Another great conference. The mix of speakers and exhibitors was of the usual high standard.

Excellent event with lots of information sharing.
