The Annual Conference, generally held in London each October, in addition to transacting the formal business of the Association, holds seminars and debates on issues of relevance to pawnbroking.
Recent Conferences have discussed topics such as training and development, compliance, HR, the precious metals markets and crime prevention. With guest speakers from legal professions, Government bodies, senior members of the Police, and other important and relevant trade associations.
As well as the Conference's educational aspects, a Members' Networking Event the afternoon before, gives an opportunity for members to meet socially. Pawnbrokers from around the UK and overseas attend the Conference and many friendships have been made and renewed over the years.
