Corporate Venues
Aberdeen City and Shire is an inspired choice for any conference or meeting venue - a fascinating blend of culture, commerce, history and scenery. The city was something of a hidden gem, but the annual doubling of the Aberdeen Convention Bureau's business over the past few years is a testimony to the growing numbers of conference organisers and delegates who have made that inspirational discovery.
The reasons are not hard to find. Aberdeen's attraction lies in a unique balance between maintaining its traditions and charm and all the modern facilities and infrastructure needed to sustain the cutting edge of industry and research - without losing its relaxed pace of life.
The city is at the hub of an extensive communications network, making it directly accessible by air from major cities around Europe and the UK, while express rail services and trunk roads provide excellent transport links to all corners of the British Isles.
Aberdeen boasts an intriguing range of conference and meeting venues. From atmospheric , to polished high-tech venues, such as Aberdeen's purpose build Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC), which has the capacity to provide 7,320 sq.m of exhibition space and a theatre style conference for up to 2,000 delegates.
There is also an abundance of city hotels, country house hotels, two universities, a variety of music venues, a theatre and, for something completely different, Aberdeen Football Club, where conference delegates can go behind the scenes and meet the players.
Aberdeen Art Gallery or Maritime Museum can also add a different dimension to an event as an unusual venue.
With around 6,000 bedrooms in a variety of city centre conference hotels, guest houses and campus accommodation, delegates can be accommodated easily.
Aberdeen Convention Bureau offers a range of complimentary services to take care of every conceivable conference arrangement. The Bureau will assist in finding and booking the right venue for you; prepare bid documents and presentations; make suggestions for social programme and leisure activities; provide delegate information; and help with press and publicity support.
