The Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA) has announced that Alastair Campbell will be its keynote speaker at its ARLA 2015 Conference.

The event will be held on Tuesday 31 March 2015 at the Hilton Metropole Hotel, London.

With the General Election scheduled for 7 May 2015, just a few weeks after the ARLA 2015 Conference, ARLA believes the conference will provide a platform for debate on the outlook for the lettings industry.

Valerie Bannister, president of ARLA, said: “Alastair Campbell has been selected as keynote speaker for ARLA’s Conference; his experience as an influential government adviser will undoubtedly provide delegates with some thought provoking views on the future landscape in preparation for potential challenges afoot.

“The 2015 event will be packed with essential information, through presentations from a number of authoritative speakers on a range of topical and practical business issues, including the highly anticipated legal update session.”
