Excel London is celebrating a record-breaking year for association meetings, with a 15 per cent increase in ICCA-ranked events.
The venue management says both national and international congresses held at the centre have reported big increases in their attendance, with most having their best ever event.
In 2013, Excel’s ICC has played host to the following events:
- BDA (British Dental Association)
- BIBA (British Insurance Brokers Association)
- British Cardiovascular Society
- EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers)
- EBMT (European Group for Blood & Marrow Transplantation)
- ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology)
- ESPGHAN (European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition)
- European Stroke Conference
- FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) Conference & Expo.
The announcement from the Abu Dhabi owned facility comes on the eve of the inaugural PCMA Global Medical Meetings Summit, which will welcome senior global medical meeting executives from North America, Europe, Asia and South America to Excel London.
Samantha Shamkh (pictured), Head of Conventions at Excel London, said: “We are delighted that the ‘London Factor’ is helping our clients to attract record numbers to their events. London ranks among the leading cities in the world for accommodation, transport, restaurants and attractions. The jump to number six in the ICCA rankings coupled with the Olympic effect has helped increase London’s appeal as a leading events destination and we are seeing the effects of this not just in 2013 but for future years as well.”
