As we begin 2025, Housing Technology is excited to bring you a year of fresh ideas, transformative innovation and purpose-driven strategies. This edition sets the tone for what promises to be a pivotal year, focusing on data standards, cutting-edge technologies and the amazing potential of housing providers to reshape our communities.
We’re thrilled to announce that Jason Bradbury, the renowned face of The Gadget Show, will deliver the keynote address at the Housing Technology 2025 conference in March. His talk, The Thousand Year Decade, will explore the technological transformations of the coming years, with actionable insights on AI, robotics, energy and sustainability. His ability to make complex ideas engaging and accessible promises to inspire and challenge us all. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Jason’s bold vision for how these innovations can create smarter, more sustainable housing solutions.
Our focus on data standards continues with the launch of our ‘Data Standards in Social Housing 2025’ report. Developed in collaboration with HACT, Open Data Exchange and the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government, this report highlights the importance of unified standards in driving efficiency, compliance and innovation. With practical guidance on adoption, barriers and integration, it’s an essential tool for anyone wanting to future-proof their housing operations. The report can be ordered now from housing-technology.com/report/data-standards-2025.
At the heart of this year’s discussions is the role of purpose-led housing providers. In a sector driven by a mission to create thriving communities, housing providers have a unique opportunity to lead the way. By embracing technologies such as AI, IoT and robotics, they can accelerate housing delivery without compromising on quality or sustainability.
Here’s to a year of progress, innovation and purpose. We look forward to seeing you at the Housing Technology 2025 conference!
