Glasgow event (16th Oct) delivers peer-led solutions for arrears management, AI transformation and regulatory challenges. Free registration includes lunch and refreshments.
Scotland's housing sector faces unprecedented challenges. From the declared housing emergency to impending rent controls and EESSH2 compliance, the pressure on associations has never been greater. But what if these challenges could become catalysts for innovation?
On Wednesday 16th October, Access PaySuite invites you to join fellow Scottish housing finance and transformation leaders at Shettleston Housing Association in Glasgow for "Smarter Partnerships, Stronger Returns" – a free, focused event designed specifically for Scotland's unique landscape.

Real results, not just concepts
Following the success of our regional event in England earlier this year, where attendees praised the practical, peer-led approach and tangible takeaways, we're bringing this winning format to Scotland. But this isn't a copy-and-paste exercise. Every session, every discussion, and every case study has been carefully curated to address the specific pressures facing Scottish associations.
The headline grabber? Some housing providers are achieving £200,000+ arrears reductions in just 12 months through innovative income management approaches combined with smart technology. These aren't theoretical possibilities – they're real outcomes from organisations just like yours.
A day designed for you
From 09:30 arrival with breakfast through to the 15:00 close (with lunch included), every moment has been crafted to deliver maximum value. No generic presentations or sales pitches – just honest conversations about what works, what doesn't, and how to navigate the path ahead.
Matt Baird and Elaine Middleton from The Housing Round Table will set the scene with their "State of the Nation" session, diving deep into Scotland's perfect storm of challenges. They'll explore what's keeping leaders awake at night and, more importantly, how forward-thinking associations are responding with resilience and innovation.
You'll see AI and automation in action – not as distant concepts but as practical tools delivering financial transformation today. The live demonstrations will show exactly how these technologies can support your teams, reduce administrative burden, and free up resources for what matters most: supporting tenants and communities.
Learning from your peers
Perhaps most valuable will be the panel conversation featuring Scottish housing association leaders who are successfully navigating these turbulent waters. They'll share candid insights on overcoming barriers, managing arrears, and unlocking resources. This is your chance to hear directly from peers who understand your context, your constraints, and your opportunities.
Also, Voicescape will showcase how smart communication solutions are revolutionising tenant engagement – reducing inbound call volumes, improving satisfaction through 24/7 self-service, and crucially, supporting vulnerable tenants with accessible channels.
Beyond Technology: A Commercial Mindset
While technology plays a crucial role, this event recognises that transformation requires more than new tools. It demands a sharper commercial lens, strategic partnerships, and the confidence to challenge traditional approaches. The afternoon's roundtable session, facilitated by industry experts, will help you identify Scotland-specific opportunities and create a practical action plan for the months ahead.
