We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll return to Homes UK 2025, taking place 25–26 November at ExCeL London. This year, we’re once again hosting our Procurement with Purpose Theatre, featuring two days of engaging seminar content delivered by some of the housing sector’s most respected thought leaders.

For the first time, Homes UK will be part of the brand-new Housing Week London – an exciting initiative bringing together the capital’s biggest housing events into one powerful week of collaboration, innovation, and insight.

As a housing-focused procurement provider, we’re proud to lead the conversation on Procurement with Purpose—driving meaningful impact across communities. From smarter sourcing strategies to creating social value you can see, we’re showcasing how procurement can truly be a force for good.

As Fusion21 members, we're offering you free tickets to attend as our guests. Sign up here for yours.

Our programme is being updated regularly, so please check back for the latest details!
