Institute of Licensing takes slot at the Night Time Economy Summit

The Institute of Licensing will deliver a dedicated session at the Night Time Economy Summit on Stage 4 at 12:30, providing a focused examination of licensing issues within the wider night‑time economy.

The panel will outline current regulatory challenges, the role of licensing in supporting safe and well‑managed venues, and the practical considerations faced by local authorities and operators.

The summit is headlined by a keynote address and live Q&A with the Rt Hon Angela Rayner MP, Former Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State. Her appearance anchors the programme, placing nightlife, culture and the creative industries firmly within the national political and economic conversation.

“This summit shows the full power of the night-time economy, politically, culturally, legally and economically,” said Michael Kill CEO NTIA. “With Angela Rayner headlining and voices from global cities, UNESCO, culture, law and technology all at the table, this is a defining moment for nightlife as we look beyond 2025.”As discussions continue across Liverpool, one message is unmistakable: the future of the UK , and its cities, will be shaped not only in Parliament, but through culture, creativity and life after dark.
