With over 25 years' experience in the affordable housing sector, and having worked across the spectrum of public and private sector organisations to deliver affordable housing, in his keynote address Andrew will explore the key challenges facing the public sector in meeting not only affordable housing targets, but the more complex and challenging issues facing us of doing so in a sustainable way. What are the practical and policy challenges and how might we overcome them? How do we build more homes while simultaneously reducing their impact on the environment? How do we best deal with existing housing stock to ensure its carbon emissions are dramatically reduced? These and other important questions on sustainability will be explored through the lens of affordable housing provision.

Sustainable Technology – Key Note VIRTUAL ROOM 1
The rise of technology in the latter part of the 20th Century and the start of the new millennium has changed all our lives beyond comparison to how we lived them only a generation ago. The 'internet of things', big data and the advent of artificial intelligence and bio technology are set to continue and this presents many challenges, questions, opportunities and ethical dilemmas for us all. In this keynote address we will explore some of these areas and will set the scene for more detailed and practical deep dive workshops. In this engaging and thought provoking session we will explore the extent to which the need to live and act in more sustainable ways is helped or hindered through the use of improved technology and whether its applications are likely to be a 'game changer' in our efforts to reach a zero carbon future.
