From Insider today:
‘Glasgow has enjoyed a record year for conference business, according to figures out today. The city hosted 538 events in 2018/19, bringing nearly 160,000 delegates attending UK and international meetings. The annual number of conferences held in Glasgow has increased by 153% from 213 in 2009/10. In that period, the number of delegates has risen 90% from 84,000 while delegate spend has increased 70% from £88 million. Last month, a report by the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) showed Glasgow attracted more international delegates in 2018 than Melbourne, Milan, Chicago, Geneva and Washington DC.’
