This year’s conference builds on the success of 2017 and will encourage delegates to share and promote good practice existing within the city’s licensed trade. Guest speakers will share experiences / expertise on the theme of Past, Present, and Future. Specifically the conference will provide the opportunity to :

• Reflect on the past and understand the differences / context in which licensed premises operated in 10/20 years ago.
• Discuss the current challenges to licensed premises in today’s economy / impact of the redesign to the public space e.g. The Avenues Project / legislation
• Plan for the future to ensure the city centre remains a vibrant city offering a variety of employment opportunities in the hospitality industry / diverse choice of venues catering for a multi-cultural society

As well as our guest speakers there will also be an opportunity to attend your choice of three workshops which will include licensing update, drug trends in the nighttime economy, cyber threats and social media vulnerability, minimising risk and more.

The conference will also include a networking lunch and marketplace event with a range of BBN Glasgow National Sponsors and key partners, trade professionals and producers who will offer delegates the opportunity to sample goods, pick up hints and tips and will showcase skills with some of the best hospitality industry demonstrations.

The cost of this years conference will be £40 per delegate (£30 per delegate for BBN Glasgow 2019 Members)
