Meet the Innovators

All of the presenters at INMOTION2009 will be from the housing sector with roles similar to yours and all of the presentations will be relevant to the industry now. The presentations will focus on real issues faced by real people in housing. With four presentations running simultaneously every hour throughout the day, we encourage you to bring a few colleagues to make sure you don’t miss anything!

All of our speakers will be giving a 20-30 minute presentation on their topic in one of our four small break-out rooms. Both before and after their presentations, our speakers will be hosting their own speaker cafι, a small, informal area where delegates will be able to sit down one-on-one with them to understand their projects, share experiences and hopefully gain valuable insight for your own project.
