In considering where to hold its next conference, an association or society is strongly influenced by the input of a local member, with the final decision often based on a competitive process with bids spearheaded by a local ‘Conference Ambassador’.
You provide the scientific, technical or industry knowledge, a network of contacts and programme ideas. The Convention Bureau provides high-quality bid documentation, expert knowledge, unbiased advice on venues, social programmes, transport and accommodation, and support throughout the process – free of charge. By working together, we can create a first-class proposal and professional presentation materials, giving your bid the best chance of success.
The conference industry in NewcastleGateshead delivers an estimated local economic impact of around £100 million annually. This programme has been developed to help you bring even greater numbers of high-quality conferences into the region.
