Influence with us. | www.cih.org/scotland | 0131 225 4544 1 THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE YEAR The CIH Scotland annual conference & exhibition is quite simply the biggest and best housing event in Scotland. We can confidently state that if you have a product or service aimed at this sector, there is nothing in Scotland that gets as many influential figures from the housing world under one roof at the same time. Last year’s event in Glasgow attracted over 1,300 delegates, exhibitors, speakers and exhibition visitors over the three days with a mix of exhibitors and sponsors from public and private sector organisations (you can find a complete list on page 19). Following from the success of our brand new ‘bite-size’ sessions we’re expecting an even bigger turnout next year. Held in the exhibition hall itself, these are free for all exhibition visitors to attend, not just delegates. You also have the chance to host your own session in these exciting venues! Delegates come from right across the public, private and voluntary sectors, and include high profile figures and key decision makers. Last year’s delegates were made up of chief executives, directors, heads of service and managers. Other delegates include housing practitioners, service delivery managers, board members, councillors, development staff, housing management staff, maintenance and asset management staff, policy/strategy staff, tenants, students and other social housing personnel from all over Scotland. Is your target market is on this list? If so, CIH2015 offers the potential for a highly productive event. 2015’s sponsorship and exhibition opportunities have already been going fast in a repeat of previous years when they’ve sold out before Christmas - so don’t leave it too late! “An excellent event and very well run” Learn with us.
