Dear colleagues,

 

Many thanks to those who have already registered for the LSA conference. We have updated the website which now includes details of keynote papers by Prof. Sarah Neale, Prof. Kevin Hannam and Dr Kehinde Andrews. I am also pleased to say that we will be awarding two paper prizes: ‘Best paper’ which is sponsored by Palgrave Macmillan (details will go live soon) and ‘Best policy paper prize’ sponsored by the Journal for Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure and Events. I wanted to remind everyone that the early bird registration ends on May 5 if you want to benefit from this. At the point of registration, please do not forget to sign up to the social activities we have planned. On night one we will be going ten pin bowling (£7) (limited places) and hot buffet (£10) and on night two we will be having a BBQ at the Tetley Art Gallery (£40 including drink on arrival and table wine).

 

Best wishes,

Tom

(Conference co-Chair)
