This is the last weekend before our conference – this time next week it will all be over.
Bookings have now closed so if you want to attend but have not booked your place yet, I’m afraid its too late now (unless we get a cancellation).
However, we will be doing a fair amount of tweeting on the day (using our official hashtag #lllconf) , and Smair will be liveblogging here on Landlord Law Blog, so you will be able to keep up with what is happening.
