Licensing Events

Alcohol Focus Scotland has been hosting the National Licensing Conference since 2004. It is widely acknowledged as the key event in the licensing calendar with the widest representation across the licensing field. Delegates typically include:
 
  • Scottish Government officials
  • Licensing Board members
  • Licensing Forum members
  • Licensing solicitors
  • Licensing Standards Officers
  • Alcohol & Drug Partnerships
  • Directors of Public Health
  • Police
  • Licensed Trade
  • Trainers
In his conference speech in 2009, the Cabinet Secretary for Justice, Kenny MacAskill said:
 
“The National Licensing Conference has become the top event for getting Boards, the police, the Government, and the licensed trade together to share experiences, share good practice, and to catch up on the latest gossip.”

We also regularly hold local and regional licensing events to bring people together to discuss the issues and share good practice.
