With innovative and informative sessions to support you and the Scottish housing sector, this is the must-attend event for young and new housing professionals looking to build their network, develop new skills and challenge the status quo.
Join the discussion on:
- Your career and value in the housing sector
- What’s happening in the sector in Scotland today
- The power of resilience and positive reflection
- Robotics and AI
Delegates will also have the opportunity to take part in Pathways Paradox, an interactive game, led by Dr Vikki McCall from the University of Stirling, that highlights the challenges, opportunities, and barriers within the housing system for people experiencing homelessness.
So come along, meet other housing professionals and be inspired by sessions designed to help you take learning back to your organisation.
Hear why our event sponsors are supporting The Big Conversation
Waverley Housing
“Attracting and supporting the next generation of housing professionals is essential to the long-term success of Waverley Housing. The social housing sector is facing an ageing workforce, increasing skills shortages, and an ever-changing policy and regulatory environment. By engaging with young professionals, we ensure that new ideas, fresh perspectives, and innovative approaches are brought into our organisation.”
“Young housing professionals bring energy, digital skills, and a strong commitment to social purpose, all of which can help us adapt to the evolving needs of our tenants and communities. Their involvement helps future-proof Waverley Housing, builds leadership capacity for tomorrow, and demonstrates that we are an organisation which values learning, development, and inclusivity.”
“Engaging with young professionals is not just about succession planning — it is also about making Waverley Housing a more dynamic, responsive, and resilient organisation today.”
The Kingdom Group
“The Kingdom Group backs The Big Conversation because investing in young professionals means investing in the future of housing. Our sector offers real variety, roles that span every business function and skill set, and the chance to make a real difference to people's lives. Creating space for early-career voices is how we build a stronger, more innovative sector that people want to be part of.”
