Future of Alcohol Sponsorship Debated At Think!Sponsorship Conference

The trade meeting ground for sponsorship in the UK – the Think!Sponsorship conference hosts its 18th event on November 14th 2012. Titled ‘Forward Thinking’ the event focuses on the changing nature of the sponsorship industry in the wake of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Topping the bill will be a timely discussion on alcohol sponsorship. Throughout the summer the alcohol industry has endured a sustained attack that has seen the BMA calling for a total ban on alcohol sponsorship. The financial impact of a ban on the sponsorship industry would be unequivocally bad news for rights holders and agencies alike; not to mention the loss of a sector that has produced some of the most innovative and forward thinking activation campaigns. 

Join over 150 delegates already booked to attend the conference and hear both sides of the story as Alcohol Concern, The Portman Group, SA Brains & The European Sponsorship Association debate and discuss what impact an alcohol ban would have on a sponsorship industry heavily dependent on this investment, how an alcohol ban might affect social change, and what steps the industry can take to stave off legislation of this type. Make sure you’re voice is heard during this session.

Aside from a topical content programme the conference provides networking opportunities with sponsors including BMW, Holiday Inn, UBS, Coca-Cola, Standard Life, Virgin Media, QBE, McDonalds, Lloyds Banking Group, Hornby, Alix Partners, Accenture, Deloitte, Lloyds TSB, LV=, BP, and many more.
