Aberdeen, otherwise known as the ‘Granite City’, is a gem of the North and a perfect
meeting destination.
A favourite with
meeting planners, this beautiful and vibrant city offers a wealth of
venues suitable for any
meeting, conference or
event, ranging from modern purpose-built
conference venues and
exhibition centres to
academic venues, hotels, sporting venues and even castles.
Aberdeen International Airport services 40 global destinations making the city an ideal choice for national and international
delegates alike, whilst good rail links, including a sleeper service to London, and road links via the M90/A90 also make Aberdeen an easy to reach destination. Vital to the oil industry and known as a Global Energy Hub, it’s no wonder that Aberdeen caters for numerous industry
events and therefore has many
venues and
meeting spaces to offer.
Undoubtedly a world-class
venue, the
Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre caters for up to 2,000
delegates, houses 7,300msq of
exhibition space, conference suites and smaller
meeting rooms, ensuring that whether large or small your
event can be hosted to the highest level. Also greatly experienced in hosting
meetings and
conferences is

sporting venue with
banqueting suite and
conference rooms suitable for all kinds of
events. A rich tradition in education and research provides numerous
academic venues such as the
Robert Gordon University, the
University of Aberdeen and
Kings College Conference Centre, an
unusual venue which offers a
banqueting suite and modern facilities in a
stately home setting. Cultural centres such as the
Music Hall and
Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museum are
unusual venues, unique settings for any
conference or
event. But if you really want to impress then why not choose a castle!
Fyvie Castle makes a stunning setting for
weddings, conferences and
meetings with its rich woodland and private loch.
Aberdeen hotels also offer a range of
meeting spaces and facilities. The
Thistle Aberdeen Airport is a first class modern hotel with
banqueting suite and
conference centre, as is the
Britannia Hotel Aberdeen which is also a

banqueting and
conference rooms or the
