Following its incredibly successful launch last year, the Housewares Conference will return in Spring 2009.
DIY Week sister publications, and organisers of the conference, Housewares Magazine and www.housewareslive.net have announced that the date has once again been set for April 1 but this time, the venue will be London's most prestigious conference and banqueting facility, One Whitehall Place.

This elegant Grade One listed building is a stone's throw from the Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square and overlooks the River Thames.

The speaker line-up has yet to be finalised, but HousewaresLive.net and Housewares Magazine promise to put together a series of sessions every bit as valuable, thought-proving and challenging as this year's event.

Delegate places are available now. The price for the 2009 event, including lunch and coffee, is being held at just £225 a head, but those booking before Christmas will enjoy a reduced rate of £175. For more information visit www.housewareslive.net/conference.
