Conference program now available

You will find the full conference program here.

We have developed a range of diverse session styles so that you will have the opportunity to participate with panel discussions, long Q & A sessions, a mix of workshops and nice long lunch breaks for informal discussions and debates. The Spotlight stream runs throughout each day with an exciting mix of papers and workshops in a more informal, drop-in, style.

The program maintains a strong interest in public housing and housing affordability but recognising the diversity of housing issues we face in contemporary Australia and the new National Affordable Housing Agreement, it also focuses on homelessness, housing associations, planning and place making, economic efficiency of the housing system and matters of social and environmental wellbeing.

This e-Newsletter helps you plan your conference experience to ensure that you get to the sessions that most interest you. Note that session codes starting with W are on the Wednesday, those starting with T are on Thursday and so on.
