Opportunities
HQN conferences
Sponsoring an HQN conference provides a fantastic opportunity for you to network with senior social housing decision makers and showcase your business’s expertise, services, and products to a targeted audience.
Our network conferences are different to other housing events because they are member-driven with the specific aim of sharing, and learning from, best practice across the industry.
We offer comprehensive and bespoke sponsorship packages for all of our main network conferences to suit all budgets, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Partner workshops
Our partner workshops are an opportunity for you to host your own event with our network members and showcase your products and services. You will be able to select the theme of the event in partnership with HQN, choose from a flexible list of dates, select targeted attendees, use our contacts to invite other expert speakers as required, and get support with creating a marketing plan for your event.
Want to host a face-to-face partner workshop? Not a problem, we will support you with marketing the event at a location chosen by you.
HQN virtual events
We hold over 200 full and half-day workshops and events every year covering a range of topics relevant to the social housing sector, the professional development of its staff and support of residents. You are welcome to collaborate with us in designing an event, or sponsor and be involved in an existing one. Our events usually feature multiple sessions from top speakers, including keynotes, breakouts, and panel discussions.
Virtual events offer our members the flexibility to learn at a time that suits them and balance their workload accordingly. They facilitate interaction with colleagues working in similar fields from across the UK with the focus on sharing knowledge, best practice, ideas, and solutions in a safe environment.
For your business, this means benefiting from high delegate numbers, the ability to engage with a diverse range of attendees and an opportunity to build your network and relationships with key people from across the sector. Depending on your chosen event style, we can provide full support for you to utilise breakout rooms, whiteboards, live chat, and chair-led panel discussions and Q&As.
As a sponsor and partner of the event, you will have the opportunity to greet delegates, introduce your business, promote your branding throughout, close the event with 1-1 discussions, circulate your related business information, have a copy of the recording, and follow up with attendees direct.
Strategic roundtable collaborations
Our strategic roundtables offer your business an exclusive opportunity to hold a closed discussion with senior professionals in the sector, confront challenges and propose meaningful solutions. Our roundtables are moderated by our team, who will be on hand to discuss themes, topics, facilitate, pose questions, involve participants and collate responses.
