In this insight, HOMES UK highlights its upcoming event at ExCeL London on 25–26 November, where organisations from across the housing sector will come together to discuss current challenges, share knowledge, and explore approaches to improving housing, communities, and sustainability.


A better future for UK housing starts with the sector coming together to drive meaningful progress. 

With the housing crisis presenting some big challenges for the sector, it’s more important than ever to share insight, collaborate openly, and work as a collective to make a positive impact. That’s where HOMES UK and Unlock Net Zero Live comes in. In just two weeks' time, 25-26 November at Excel London, thousands of professionals from across the sector will convene for this very reason - to connect, learn, and take meaningful action, together. 

This unique opportunity brings together the full housing community – from housing associations and local authorities, to developers, funders, and supply-chain partners – under one roof for the largest free*-to-attend conference and exhibition of its kind. It’s a rare opportunity for everyone with a stake in creating better homes, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future to align on the challenges ahead and shape practical solutions. 

Over two days, you’ll hear 250+ expert speakers and gain access to over 70+ hours of CPD-accredited content across six stages, including the brand new co-located Data & Digital Summit and Residential Building Safety Summit. From policy and funding updates to innovation in design, data, and asset management, you’ll unlock the knowledge and connections you need to grip the sector with two hands.  

You’ll also have the unique opportunity to digest the implications of the Autumn Budget as it’s announced alongside expert voices from across the sector. We’ll examine the opportunities and challenges following the Chancellor’s announcements, and explore how the sector can accelerate delivery, build more homes, and improve the quality and sustainability of existing stock.  

New for 2025, we’ve launched a dynamic new way for you to tap into peer-to-peer learning and problem solving at HOMES UK and Unlock Net Zero Live with Braindate. Dive into meaningful, game-changing conversations by connecting one-on-one or in a small-group discussion with peers and expert voices from across housing, sustainability, and placemaking. This isn’t your typical networking experience – but your chance to collaborate on a topic of your choice to build a better future for housing. 

For those looking to stay ahead of an ever-changing sector and create meaningful, lasting connections - HOMES UK is your place to be this November. Don’t miss out on your chance to see the bigger picture with front of mind topics alongside the experts leading the way, and build relationships that can drive meaningful change long after the event ends. 

Join us to be part of this unique opportunity and play your part in shaping the future of UK housing.
