Three weeks to go - Property Care Conference
A must for building specialists that deal with dampness and other building defects, the Property Care Association conference takes place on Wednesday 18 September 2024. This year, we're excited to host the event at a new venue, the Telford International Centre. This larger location gives us the opportunity to grow the Property Care Conference, and we believe we have a conference programme that will allow us to do just that.
What does the programme have in store?
Kicking the day off we will consider the Building Safety Act and what it means for competency, in the world of damp remediation. We will consider the wider implications of poor indoor air quality, and we are also extremely pleased to announce Chetna Parmar, Cobden House Chambers will be speaking of her experiences as a barrister that deals with housing disrepair claims, detailing if the landscape has changed and the significance of the role of the specialist damp surveyor.
We are also delighted to welcome Nadhia Khan, Executive Director of Customer and Communities, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, who has a unique perspective regarding the consequences of damp. Nadhia will speak about her experiences, including what we need to be alert to, to avoid such tragedies happening in the future. This is a not to be missed session covering the systemic issues, remedial actions by Rochdale Boroughwide Housing, and forthcoming legislation affecting social housing landlords. By learning from these events, we can ensure safe and healthy living environments, preventing further tragedies and improving community well-being.
We have always aimed to incorporate a forward-looking element into these conferences, and the final session of the day will be heavily focused on technology, where we'll explore how artificial intelligence could benefit building specialists.
The big debate
Staying with tradition we will have a panel debate, picking up on a conversation that was started last year and was the topic of the first webinar of this year and that is around “lifestyle.” There can be no doubt that this is still an emotive and polarising topic and one that we will look to get a range of views on the topic.
In summary
The PCA conferences have long been a platform for learning, raising standards, and sharing knowledge, making them essential for anyone aiming to stay at the forefront of our industry sectors. In addition to the opportunity to network with industry peers and explore this year's exhibitor stands, this year’s programme is packed with forward-thinking content that looks set to reshape our approach to damp and mould in buildings.
