September 2016


Price: £95 PLUS VAT
Format: DOWNLOADABLE PDF


This seminar was a timely opportunity to examine the way forward for securing the UK as a global centre for the sharing economy.
At a time when the adoption of popular applications continues to rise, transforming and disrupting consumer markets, delegates at this seminar considered how UK businesses can fully exploit the potential of the sharing economy to meet the changing needs of the consumer - with examples of best practice from across sectors.
Delegates also examined the future role of regulation and policy in ensuring the continued growth of the UK sharing economy, focusing on issues surrounding technology development, market competition, employment contracts, as well as consumer trust and protection.
For this conference speakers and other delegates were an informed group including members of both Houses of Parliament, senior government officials involved in this area of public policy, together with key stakeholders - including technology and telecoms businesses - and representatives from sectors including hospitality, travel services, retail, fashion, finance and real estate amongst others with an interest in these issues.
