2010 Conference
Over the past few years, both the on and off-trade have taken enormous strides to ensure alcohol is retailed responsibly.
Now in its seventh year, this year's conference addressed the issues facing the industry and what's next on the government's agenda, including tips on how to empower and educate oneself with the information required to retail responsibly and how we communicate this to staff and consumers.
