The Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and the National Housing Federation (NHF) have announced a new joint conference in Liverpool.

The event, called The Housing Community Summit, is backed by Housing Today as media partner and will replace both organisations’ annual conferences.

Gavin Smart, chief executive of the CIH, said: “Bringing together our two organisations to create this flagship event for the housing sector will provide all housing professionals and partners with the opportunity to come together to hear from top class speakers from across the sector, government, politics and beyond.”
