Following on from the excellent Events Conference at BU last week, the School of Tourism is pleased to announce that BU has been chosen to host the 2015 Leisure Studies Association Annual Conference. This is a significant international conference that attracts visitors and speakers from across the globe and is a real mark of recognition for the University that will help establish further both the School of Tourism and BU’s international reputation. The conference will take place between 7th – 9th July 2015 and will provide a platform for BU academics, associated professionals and local/regional/national sport, leisure, events and tourism organisations to become involved.
Although the conference is almost two years away, planning and preparation will be underway in the very near future. The conference themes will be circulated in due course, but if you would like further information, then please contact either Andrew Adams (aadams@bournemouth.ac.uk) or Ian Jones (jonesi@bournemouth.ac.uk.
