The Society for Location Analysis

SLA stands for The Society for Location Analysis. It is a not-for-profit organisation run by a voluntary committee and
sponsored by CBRE through the National Survey of Local Shopping Patterns. Its aims are to:

• Improve the standing and promote the expertise of site location research.
• Support the interests of the site location research community.
• Encourage cross-fertilisation of information, techniques and practices (this obviously discounts commercially
  sensitive information).
• Encourage discussions of matters relating to Site Location Research.
