PTR drives down delegate costs

Proven Track Record (PTR), organiser of the annual Independents Day conference, has frozen the delegate fee at last year's price.

Delegates can attend this year's event, which has the theme 'Driving retail sales in recession', from £119 if booked before May 31.

Event sponsor Essilor said it would again offer tickets to Varilux Specialist Opticians at a reduction of up to £70.

PTR director Nick Atkins commented: 'In keeping with the current climate and the theme of the conference we have reviewed our pricing policy and decided to further reward our loyal delegates with not only the best prices but also by holding our usual annual price rise.'
