That’s a wrap on the Care at Home & Housing Support Conference & Exhibition 2026 👏

What a powerful day of conversation, reflection and shared learning. From the stories of pride and invisibility shared this afternoon, to practical insights on workforce, technology and care delivery - today has been about recognising the reality of care and what it must create next.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, our speakers, delegates, exhibitors and partners, and to our sponsors for helping make the day possible.

Special thanks to our Main Conference Sponsor, Hierarchy Technologies and our Name Badges Sponsor, PASS by EveryLife Technologies.

These conversations don’t end here. There is so much to take forward as we continue to work towards a social care sector that is visible, viable, valued and visionary.

Thank you for being part of it 💛

Now time to get ready for tonight's

A really powerful afternoon at the Care at Home & Housing Support Conference 💬

We started with a moving Story Exchange, where people shared real moments of pride in care and times when care felt invisible.

From there, the focus turned to practical support through our Skills MiniBursts - covering palliative care, workforce development, Scotland’s Care Policy Scorecard and how technology can support (not replace) good care.

Then a campaign moment on and a reflection on using technology in care from Care City UK.

We wrapped up by asking an important question:
what must care create next?

So many honest conversations and ideas to take forward 👏
