DIN Annual Summit 2023

Our theme this year is ‘hitting the target, missing the point’ where we will be exploring the role of citizen leadership, social purpose and the way we communicate amongst some of the themes.

Each year the DIN Summit has grown, and we firmly believe this is the best free to attend leadership event in the social housing sector. Focussing on the big drivers of change and transformation around technology, people and culture and the service experience.

Once again, we have gone the extra mile to secure some of the very best speakers; with lots of new faces members won’t have heard from before. If you want to experience a day of learning and purposeful inspiration, then this is the leadership event for you. With stories, insights and practical case studies aplenty we promise this will be an event which delivers!

In this year’s programme we will be exploring topical issues including:

• Social purpose as a driver for service transformation
