Frequently Asked Questions

As a speaker at HAPN, you'll be sharing your knowledge and experience with a peer audience of senior housing association professionals. Sessions are designed to be informative, discussion-led, and grounded in real-world practice – not sales pitches or product promotions.

Who will be in the audience? Your audience will be made up of senior professionals from housing  including directors, heads of service, and operational leads covering areas such as development, asset management, finance, resident services, and more.

Sessions typically take the form of a presentation, panel discussion, or facilitated roundtable, depending on the topic and the event agenda. Our content team will work with you in advance to agree the most suitable format for your session.

No. Speaking at HAPN is complimentary. We cover your attendance for both days, including all sessions, networking opportunities, meals, and accommodation. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with peers and solution providers addressing the same challenges you face.

Beyond your presentation or panel session (typically 20-45 minutes), you're encouraged to stay for the full two-day event. This gives you the chance to learn from other speakers, network with fellow senior leaders, explore innovative solutions from our sponsors, and participate in the broader conversation about digital transformation in local government. Many speakers find the networking and peer connections just as valuable as presenting.
