The Northern Ireland Federation of Housing Associations (NIFHA) has announced it is to host a Development and Asset Management conference and exhibition at St George's Market in Belfast.
The event is the first of its kind in NI and is to take place on Wednesday, 14 June.
It will combine a wide variety of exhibitions from construction, maintenance and product suppliers to the social housing sector distributed throughout the historical venue along with an impressive list of guest-speakers offering an insight into the social housing sector.
Ben Collins, NIFHA Chief Executive said: "This is the first time an event like this has been organised in Northern Ireland and it comes at a crucially significant time for us as our members continue to strive to meet the challenges of constructing almost 2000 new homes each year. Against a backdrop of continued instability in the local and European political environments, this event will offer an ideal space for those developing and managing social housing across Northern Ireland to engage with suppliers bringing forward new and innovative products and services.
"We see this conference as a real opportunity for those who are involved in the social housing sector, whether it be an asset manager; a contractor or a supplier of goods, to come together to avail of the relevant information on offer as part of the day. Delegates will be treated to a host of guest-speakers specialising in this sector, who are set to provide guidance on the sector as it currently stands."
