Fees

The conference was free to attend. In recognition of the extraordinary financial burden that the Covid-19 pandemic has placed on housing providers and stakeholders, the ICSH did not wish to place any financial barriers towards attending this event. We hope that the shared learnings from this event can be accessed by as wide an audience as possible and will contribute in some way to the sector’s resilience and recovery.

If you would like to make a contribution towards the running costs of the conference, please contact Catherine McGillycuddy at catherine@icsh.ie to discuss.
