A micro-conference is a small scale conference that allows professionals to present and discuss their work. They provide a channel for the exchange of nascent ideas and an opportunity for collaboration.
The events are hosted online and delivered within a 2 hour window to minimise the impact on your working day, while giving attendees an incisive conference session and the opportunity to network and workshop with speakers and other attendees in the breakout rooms.
November 2025 (Date TBC)

Our panel of specialists will examine the impact of rising energy costs, outdated infrastructure, and regulatory requirements. We’ll explore innovative solutions, including energy-efficient upgrades and support programs, to help landlords improve tenant welfare while navigating financial constraints.

The Housing Digital events are not only insightful and interesting, they really are very refreshing. Networking with housing professionals and others linked to the sector is extremely useful and the range of knowledge and experiences openly shared, with the chance to hear presentations, is invaluable. I particularly enjoy putting faces to names of people I’ve previously only e-mailed or phoned, but even more important is the chance to meet a lot of new and very interesting people. Members are friendly, fun and welcoming and by sharing plans and experiences, we’ll be able to learn so much from each other. I’m already looking forward to the next online event.

Director of Governance, Assurance & Risk Cobalt Housing
I recommend the online events to Third Public Sector colleagues involved in creating and managing social housing. They are an opportunity to meet in a friendly environment with a wide range of professionals from across the region, hearing diverse perspectives and making new contacts.

Chief Executive Leeds Community Homes
I found the session really good – I particularly liked the automatic move from one breakout session to another. It saves the awkward “ok, I’m going to leave this group and find another one” moment. A bit like speed dating between breakout groups – good networking!
Lucie Smith
Head of Finance Mosscare St Vincent’s Housing Group
I participated in my first Housing Digital event last week as a presenter and found the experience really valuable. Firstly the session provides an easy and relaxed, opportunity where you can get to know fellow professionals in your sector and associated with your sector – all virtually and from the comfort of your own home!. If you see a particular person from the attendee list who you would like to speak to during the event, you can!….., or you have the option of contacting them after the session; All the virtual technology worked seamlessly and was really easy to use, even for someone like me who is still “getting used to it”. Secondly, you can be a presenter which gives you an opportunity to present information on particular topics which stimulate discussions and debate within the virtual audience, the feedback from which is really useful to shape ideas “back at base”. I’ll be looking out for the next one!
