About

Beauchamps Housing Conference, Accelerate 2026, is back for another year of discussion and action as we advance Beyond the Blueprint.

Join us as we move beyond discussion towards tangible action in housing delivery. Together, we will explore recent developments and how to drive progress in an evolving policy landscape as turn ambition into practical delivery.

We are honoured to welcome James Browne T.D., Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, as keynote speaker. Fidelma McManus, Partner and Head of Housing at Beauchamps, will chair a series of panel discussions featuring leading voices from across the infrastructure, housing and development landscape.

Reflecting the Beyond the Blueprint theme, the programme will examine how the sector can align legislative reform, infrastructure requirements, capital, policy and implementation models to support housing delivery at scale.

The 2026 programme will centre on two core themes:

  • Breaking the Infrastructure Bottleneck
  • What will it take to deliver Affordable Housing at Scale?

 Discussions will explore the practical steps needed to translate the emerging blueprint for transformation into delivery, from expanding infrastructure capacity and attracting capital, to addressing structural undersupply and affordability pressures.

If you are involved in shaping, financing or delivering housing in Ireland, this is your opportunity to be part of a timely market conversation on moving beyond the blueprint and turning national ambition into action.

The conference qualifies for 3 hours General CPD.
