TPAS Annual Conference

The TPAS Scotland Annual conference is the biggest event in Scotland for Tenants, Residents, Officers and anyone working in Housing. This year the conference is the Apex hotel in Dundee 2nd - 4th October 2009.

Many changes have taken place in Scottish Housing world during the past year, not least the new Housing Bill which will be introduced in late spring. Our conference will discuss and explore many of these changes, their impacts and implications. Come along to this event and meet friends, old and new, network with other delegates from all over Scotland and learn from our range of workshops and plenary sessions. We will once again have our popular opening session, a wide variety of over 30 workshops on offer, together with a couple of short plays, visits and an exciting closing session. 

Sessions include: How regeneration impacts on the health of tenants, The regeneration of East of Glasgow for the forthcoming, Commonwealth Games, Promoting Race Equality in Housing, Tenant Led Inspections, Tenant Participation in Rural Areas, Accredited Training, Housing Bill 2009, Investment in Affordable Housing and many more!!

There will also be the opportunity to see the very popular and hard hitting play 'H is 4' by Naomi Breeze again as welll as her new play on Anti-Social Behaviour.

If there is any topic that you would specifically like us to deliver as a workshop, please get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate this.

Many of the suggestions in the evaluation forms have been taken into consideration and incorporated our event this year - especially to issue delegates with their bedroom keys prior to 4pm!
