INCON, a global partnership of leading conference organisers and event management companies, has chosen ExCel London as the host venue for its annual University event, which takes place 9th – 12th February and will attract delegates from across the globe.
Supported by London and Partners, the programme will include an industry seminar to outline and debate London’s current and potential role in the global meetings industry.
The seminar will set out how the international congress community views on London’s offering and how the capital can compete in against other global destinations.
The session will be moderated by INCON and forms part of the University programme, also consisting of specialist training for delegates to learn, update skills and share best practice.
The event will include presentations from senior level speakers from across Europe and as far afield as Australia.
“Along with the team at London & Partners, our venue and city are immensely proud to host the INCON University event this year,” comments James Rees, Director of Conferences and Events at ExCeL London.
“I believe INCON’s choice to stage the event here in 2012, our Olympic year, sends a clear message to the global meetings industry that we are serious about staging international congresses and builds on the amazing track record we have developed since opening London’s first International Convention Centre.”
Roslyn McLeod, Co-Chair of INCON states, “Our members pride themselves in working with the very best destinations and venues around the world and, in the build-up to the Olympic Games, London is a natural choice for this year’s University programme."
"Many of the INCON partners have already used ExCeL London, or have future congresses booked there, so we are delighted to support what is fast becoming a venue of choice in the European market.”
