WELCOME TO ABERDEEN FOR CONFERENCES & EVENTS “Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part, Happy to Meet Again”; that is the official toast to Bon Accord and one you won’t forget after hosting your own conference or event here. Aberdeen has long played a significant role in the conference and events industry, thanks to its oil fuelled economy and expertise in many other buoyant sectors including life sciences and nutrition. With over 50 diverse venues and 4,000 modern, traditional and luxury hotel bedrooms the city’s offering has become very competitive; there has never been a better time to bring your conference here.

The airport isn’t the only significant development happening at present. With a brand new exhibition and conference centre due to be complete in the city during 2019, substantial multi-million pound investments in the city’s striking Art Gallery and renowned Music Hall, and plans to massively extend the harbour, Aberdeen is securing its position as a leader for conferences and events.
