We recently asked some members of our Finance Policy Advisory Group (FPAG), to tell us why they think it is important to attend Housing Finance. Hear is what they had to say.
Finance colleagues need to be more outward-looking and to seek out best practices, the conference gives the perfect opportunity to do that
Keeping up to date with the latest in the sector, hearing about others' experience of dealing with certain issues, whether that is mergers, raising funds, cyber-attacks etc. I find this invaluable insight.
Always great to network and meet people face to face.
In the age of hybrid working it is a chance to meet face-to-face with peers, consultants and stakeholders. It is also good to understand the challenges faced by the sector and find out how others are addressing these challenges.
Ability to network with peers and discuss issues in a wider context.
Geared towards the common finance issues we face as a sector, allows finance colleagues at all stages in their career an opportunity to learn and develop, allows us to share best practice with each other.
It’s one of the best times to think outside the day job surrounded by excellent people who are all willing to give their time and experience to help make a difference to housing issues. I am sure lots of attendees have a dichotomy of wishing it was longer to get more out of it against worrying about how much time out of the day job it takes.
The opportunity to learn, share ideas, build your network, and have fun with people trying to tackle the same issues across the sector is unique – anyone serious about building their career in housing finance should want to attend this event.
Shines a spotlight on the key financial matters affecting the sector and potential solutions as well as looking forward to what is coming on the horizon that needs to be dealt with. It is also the opportunity to do 3 above!
