SLP ANNUAL CONFERENCE – 11 OCTOBER 2006
COURT SUITE, GROSVENOR HOTEL, PARK LANE , LONDON
The Society of Licensing Practitioners has been one of the leading organisations for licensing professionals for the past eleven years. From its origin as the Society of Entertainment Licensing Practitioners (SELP), it evolved into the Society of Licensing Practitioners (SLP). In addition to its focus on entertainment it now embraces other licensing activities such as alcohol and gambling.
If you were a Delegate at one of its earlier Conferences you would have appreciated the Society’s selection of expert speakers, the breadth of relevant topics and the quality of both the presentations and the accompanying literature.
This year, the SLP is particularly pleased to welcome four new sponsors and are most grateful to BII, Poppleston Allen Solicitors, Business in Sport and Leisure (BISL) and the Trading Standards Institute (TSI) and for their help in supporting of the event.
