What's stopping the social housing sector from making all homes talk? We’re about to tell you.

Monday 20 October sees the official launch of our latest research report; the largest exploration yet into the current state of connected (smart) homes in the social housing sector.

‘If Homes Could Talk’ reveals just how social housing organisations can move forward with rolling out connected homes technology, at pace - and at scale.

In conjunction with Bromford Flagship and a number of key partners, we’ve delved into why the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) tech has been slower in the social housing sector than in other industries, where the use of IoT devices is more widespread.

Working with landlords, suppliers and tenants, our research has uncovered the truth about why, even though the benefits of the tech are widely known, many social housing organisations are stuck in pilot mode, why those pilots should stop now, how barriers to roll-out can be overcome and how we can forge a way forward.

About this event

Join us as we unpack the barriers to widespread deployment of smart home technology and explore how to break them down.

We’ll explain why scaling connected homes is much more than a tech issue - and what the sector needs to do to move forward.

This crucial hour-long webinar will take place at 10am on Monday 20 October and will feature expert contributors from the research to explain the findings in more detail and answer any questions you may have.

Watch out for our follow-up email, giving you advance access to the report’s executive summary.

Areas we will be exploring include:

• Why we’re stuck - the barriers to scaling connected homes technologies

• How to break through – the routes to overcoming those barriers

• How to progress – DIN’s recommendations to help roll out tech, bigger and better

• Why culture is key, strategy is vital and residents are king
• The role of landlords, suppliers and policy maker

Hosted by:

Ian Wright, DIN founder and CEO
