The PLSA takes very seriously any form of inappropriate or unethical behaviour at its events.  We ask that all attendees are considerate and respectful to each other, and look after one another.  If you see any behaviour which you deem is inappropriate, please report it, at your earliest convenience, and in strictest confidence, to Kate Hadley, Director of Events ([email protected] or tel: 07717 895070), PLSA or Julian Mund, Chief Executive, PLSA ([email protected] or tel 07960 317497).

Service of alcohol at PLSA events Pane 10

We know that an important element of hosting an exhibition stand at one of our conferences is the networking element, and the service of food and drink forms part of that.  The PLSA will be hosting a Welcome Drinks Reception in the exhibition hall at the end of conference sessions on Tuesday evening, as well as a Conference Dinner on Wednesday.  Whilst exhibitors are not restricted from serving alcohol during the event, we do encourage you to be mindful of serving excessive alcohol due to the sensitivities around this.

The decision was taken to increase the number of delegate passes associated with an exhibition stand booking and remove stand personnel passes. We want everyone on-site to benefit from the networking and learning opportunities that the conference sessions, networking opportunities, and conference app provide. By making every area of the event accessible we hope that we’re helping attendees make the most of their time at the event.

The historic stand personnel pass was intended for people managing stands and scheduling back of house or those on site to perform catering or entertainment duties. These passes can still be arranged on a case by case basis via [email protected]

For those that want to make the most of the networking and learning opportunities that the conference provides you may arrange further delegate passes for your team at a discounted rate; please contact [email protected]
