The Business of Events has confirmed VisitScotland Business Events as its latest key partner for its 2023 programme.
The announcement marks a fifth year of consecutive support to the Policy Unit and Think Tank.
The country has played host to a variety of internationally significant events, which have been platforms for key discussions surrounding climate change, and renewables including the World Energy Council Executive Assembly and Energy Trilemma Summit and COP26. It was also recently announced that Glasgow will host the 2026 world Water Congress and Exhibition.
Neil Brownlee (pictured), head of business events, VisitScotland, said: “The business events sector is a critical driver for the economies of both Scotland and the UK, contributing £39.1bn a year.
“It is important for VisitScotland to align itself with initiatives and organisations such as The Business of Events, so that we can better understand what the current business events landscape means for us as a destination.”
Martin Fullard, director – news and content, The Business of Events, added: “To have the support of VisitScotland Business Events is of critical importance to the work carried out by The Business of Events.
“They have a strong reputation among the global business events community, as their mission exceeds simple metrics such as hotel occupancy: they lead in driving change through business events and helping the country achieve its objectives in a range of fields.”
