TPAS Annual Conference

A must-attend annual event for housing associations, tenants and stakeholders from across the Scottish housing sector.

The TPAS Annual Conference is the leading event for the social housing sector in Scotland.  It is designed and delivered in partnership with housing associations, tenants and stakeholders from across the housing sector to learn, share best practice and challenge ideas and policies.

 

The 2022 conference took place from Friday 10th  to Sunday 12th June in Clydebank, Glasgow and brought together 200 people from across the sector to discuss the theme of building stronger, happier & healthier communities following the pandemic.

 

The conference boasted inspiring talks across the 3 days from key individuals including Patrick Harvie MSP, Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings, Active Travel and Tenants’ Rights, Craig Sanderson of Edinburgh Poverty Commission, Callum Chomrz, CIH Director, Jehan Weerasinghe, Managing Director of GHA and Tina Mistry, Relationships Manager, AICO.

 

Delegates also attended a series of practical workshops sharing insights, skills and knowledge around key topics to support them in their tenant participation roles.

 

The National Good Practice Awards are a key part of the conference and celebrate the good work and community involvement individuals, organisations and groups have delivered.  You can find out more about the winners and runners up from this year’s awards here.
