Glasgow, the SECC Wins another Major Conference for 2010

Glasgow’s reputation as a premier city for conferences and events has been strengthened following a successful bid for Eventia’s summer conference in 2010.

Summer Eventia is the annual conference by Eventia, the official trade body of the events and live marketing industry, and has been brought to Glasgow through a partnership between Glasgow City Marketing Bureau and the Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre (SECC).

The conference being held at the SECC is expected to bring around 350 delegates to the city for the three-day event next July, and will potentially lead to 1,000 hotel rooms being booked over the period.

A number of major conferences have already chosen Glasgow as host for their event in 2010, including the European Association for Palliative Care in June and the World Parkinson Congress, which will welcome 4,000 delegates over four days at the SECC in September and October.
