It’s easy to see why event planners choose Edinburgh as their favourite location after London for hosting meetings, events and conferences. Scotland’s capital city has much to offer tourists and delegates alike, making it a popular meeting and conference destination. Rich in history and culture, renowned for its many famous festivals and a world leader in business, this UNESCO World Heritage Site balances the traditional with the contemporary and offers everything from banqueting suites, training centres, and stately houses to academic venues, exhibition centres and hotels.
This picturesque city, built on extinct volcanoes on an inlet from the North Sea, is ideal for international conference delegates with over 40 European airports connecting with Edinburgh Airport, making it an ideal global meeting location. Scotland’s motorway network allows for easy access by road via the M8, M9 and M90 and also the A1 from England. Train links are also regular and easy to use, particularly when using the fastest intercity railway in the UK.
The only difficulty is in choosing a venue as there is such a vast choice! Museums and galleries such as the National Museum of Flight, the National Gallery of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art offer cultural meeting spaces in beautiful settings. Academic venues are combined with historic venues to offer ideal banqueting suites, exhibition and training centres, such as those offered through Edinburgh First. Modern meeting spaces such as MWB Edinburgh and Edinburgh Training and Conference Venue offer first class technology and adaptable meeting rooms and conference spaces to suit all needs. The Edinburgh Corn Exchange is a truly versatile conference venue, banqueting suite, sporting venue or exhibition centre whilst the Edinburgh International Climbing Arena is a sporting venue ideal for team building events. If you’re looking for a venue with wow factor then Edinburgh Castle, Dundas Castle or the Assembly Rooms are perfect settings for that unique conference or event. Edinburgh hotels also offer a wealth of choice. For instance, The George Hotel has unrivalled facilities for meetings and conferences alongside stylish elegance, The Barcelo Edinburgh Carlton Hotel has 10 high tech meeting rooms for up to 240 delegates, the Apex International Hotel Edinburgh offers great leisure facilities alongside its banqueting suite and conference centre whilst the Macdonald Houstoun House is the perfect peaceful country house venue with several conference suites, well equipped meeting rooms and banqueting suite serving award-winning cuisine.
