The Future Homes Conference 2026 comes at a pivotal time for the housing sector.


Delivering high-quality homes and places at pace and scale continues to rise up the political agenda. However, there are multiple challenges that need to be resolved, including viability and affordability pressures, if the sector is to unlock sustainable growth.


This year's conference will focus on building the partnerships between homebuilders, central government, mayoral authorities, local authorities, housing associations, the supply chain and financial institutions, while sharing the practical solutions and collaborative approaches needed to unlock sustainable growth.
