Unlocking Place-Based Intelligence with GIS – Wednesday 14th October 2026

Last year’s seminar brought together more than 100 delegates from 57 housing associations to explore how GIS is supporting better decision-making across the social housing sector.

The 2026 seminar will continue that conversation, with practical presentations, real-world case studies and valuable networking opportunities focused on how GIS can support:

  • Asset and risk management
  • Grounds maintenance
  • Sustainability and decarbonisation
  • Strategic planning
  • Data intelligence and operational efficiency
  • Data analysis for healthy homes

As with last year’s seminar, this informal in-person event is designed for housing professionals who want to share ideas, learn from peers and discover practical approaches being used across the sector.

Please note that there will be a strict limit of 3 delegates per housing association as we expect this event to fill up very quickly.
