Edinburgh CVB and EICC announces three new conference wins worth £6m

Three new conference wins by the Marketing Edinburgh Convention Bureau and the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) will deliver an estimated economic impact of £6m for the city. The wins will also attract some 3,000 delegates to Edinburgh from 2014 to 2017.
 
The new business wins are: The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, Europe 2014, Aquaculture Europe 2016 and the World Veterinary Poultry Association Congress 2017.
 
The announcement comes just five months after the opening of EICC’s new £30m expansion space and days after the centre welcomed its one millionth delegate since opening in 1995.
 
All three events were won as a result of a joint bid process in competition with global business tourism destinations. The World Veterinary Poultry Association Congress attracted Scottish Government Conference Bid Fund support.
 
“Our hard working partnership with Marketing Edinburgh is succeeding in attracting international events with a winning combination of the world’s most technically advanced conferencing space and a World Heritage social and cultural landscape in one city centre location,” says EICC’s Head of Sales and Marketing, Louise Andrew.
