Eight years ago, DIN set out to do things differently. To give social housing organisations a space to challenge assumptions, test what's next and learn from people who've already done it.
Since then, that's meant hundreds of hours of accredited learning, dozens of technologies trialled before they hit the mainstream, a growing supplier community solving real problems, and a network of leaders who've turned a conversation at a DIN event into a genuine change back home.
Because the real measure of a network isn't what it offers. It's what people do with it.

What our members and partners say we have DIN for them
“What's the most unexpected thing DIN has brought me? It's got to be the way people are so generous with their time, and also sharing their expertise.DIN has given me the confidence to think differently and to lead in a very different way to what is the norm.”
Nick Atkin, CEO, Yorkshire Housing
“Some of the people I have heard from, whether that's from the world of tech, data, AI, media, politics; they have all brought a fascinating insight from different businesses.”
James Walder, CEO, North Star
“DIN has really got us thinking about what the customer needs and trying to make improvements all the time, rather than going for a big bang approach.I enjoyed meeting Cris Beswick and hearing all about his work on innovation in the middle - and that led to an introduction to Alan Smith at Believe Housing - and sharing some ideas about innovation.”
Donna Cezair, CEO, Worthing Homes
