ODCGIS is in Liverpool this week to exhibit at the Housing Community Summit 2026, where the team will be highlighting how Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can support better decision-making across the social housing sector.
Taking place on 8–9 September at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool, the event brings together housing professionals, stakeholders, policymakers and residents, with this year’s programme focusing on key issues including homelessness, social housing regulation, building safety, rents, housing quality and resident engagement.
Visitors can meet ODCGIS on Stand D14, where Business Development Manager Ian Usher will be available throughout the two-day event. He will be joined on Tuesday by Managing Director Craig Godwin and Sales Manager Alan Smith and Director of Operations Rick Thompson on the Wednesday.
“The Housing Community Summit is a great opportunity to talk directly with housing professionals about how better use of location-based data can support practical, informed decision-making,” said Rick Thompson, Director of Operations. “We’re looking forward to demonstrating how GIS data capture and consultancy can help organisations understand their assets, communities and priorities more clearly.”
The summit forms part of a busy programme of sector events for ODCGIS following exhibitions and engagement with housing professionals earlier in the year. The company will continue the conversation on 14 October, when it hosts its ODCGIS Social Housing Seminar 2026 at thestudio Birmingham.
Rick added: “Our seminar will provide a further opportunity for housing organisations to explore the benefits of using GIS and data-driven approaches. With a focus on practical applications and the needs of the social housing sector, we will continue to support organisations looking to make better use of geospatial data and digital technology to inform their decisions.”
