CHIPS, which has more than 30 stores across the UK, will be hosting its seventh Annual Conference at noon on Sunday, October 19, 2008, at Ramside Hall, Co Durham.
This conference is your chance to unveil your top consoles, titles & accessories to its growing band of franchisees and staff.
Following the resounding success of last year's conference, a decision was taken to remain at the Ramside Hall venue and limit the number of stands so the CHIPS Conference retains its unique feel.
So if you want to be part of the fun, don't delay in signing up.
