11th Scottish Empty Homes Conference

Thriving places are at the heart of realising the full potential of communities. They are also key to boosting local economies and helping to tackle poverty.

The Scottish Empty Homes Partnership works with its network to address the country's 47,000 long term empty homes, and our annual conferences have been a place where practitioners come together to share knowledge on tackling empty homes.

With the theme From Empty Spaces to Thriving Places, the Scottish Empty Homes Conference returns on Tuesday 1st February 2022 at the COSLA Conference Centre in Edinburgh.

We are excited to announce that the conference will be held in-person and will deliver plenty of opportunities for engagement and interaction in line with Covid-19 guidance. Digital participation is also available for those who prefer or need to participate from home.

We will be announcing the programme of speakers over the coming weeks, so stay tuned to find out more about what is in store. The National Property Auctions 11th Scottish Empty Homes Awards will also take place during the conference and we look forward to celebrating the achievements of the past year.

In-person tickets are limited, so get in early! Early bird tickets with a 40% discount applied are available until the 24th December 2021. Participants who require payment by invoice can order their tickets on Eventbrite and select Invoice in the payment section. A member of the team will then contact you to follow this up.
