On 30th March HAI had our first Hardware Conference since February 2020. In his opening speech our President Paul Candon outlined the four main challenges and opportunities facing the sector. The demand for housing, both for new build and the rejuvenation of empty homes, sustainability, the quest for talent, and digitisation. Each of these will impact on how we do business and shape our future and the conference reflected these trends. With over 170 attendees, the Hardware Conference was opened by Minister Neale Richmond who mentioned his family’s background in the sector spanning a few generations. In his speech he outlined the work of his Department in continuing to help the sector. Minister Darragh O’Brien sent a video message that acknowledged the partnership with HAI and our place in future plans. And in this edition we feature an interview with Minister O’Brien focusing on the Government’s Vacant Homes Action Plan. Covering some interesting and thought-provoking topics and a compelling line up of speakers the Conference was a great success. Feedback from both delegates and sponsors has been excellent. And here’s a hint for anyone coming to the conference - stay to the end, it is well worth it, executive thinking time and networking is valuable. And, we can all be done without for one day!
