ACC Liverpool, home to BT Convention Centre and Echo Arena, has successfully won the contract to bring the International Bible Student’s Association annual event to the city for three consecutive years, with the first event being held in August 2012.
The three day event, taking place 10th – 12th August 2012 will draw over 7,000 delegates to the state of the art venue, bringing with it an estimated economic impact to the city in excess of £500k.
The International Bible Student’s Association annually brings together its UK congregation to celebrate, listen to keynote speakers and join in topical discussions.
However, due to the draw and demand for the event in the NorthWest, the association is expanding its regional programme to include Liverpool as an extra date in the regional event calendar.
The scale of the event will see plenary and breakout sessions taking place across the interlinked arena and convention centre for what is set to be one of the venue’s largest association gatherings.
David Algar, Event Organiser for International Bible Student’s Association said, “The team at ACC Liverpool have been proactive in inviting our event to experience the flexible facilities they have on offer here in Liverpool."
"Our delegates from the NorthWest region have sung the venue’s praises so we wanted to come and look for ourselves. Our event is for people of all ages and ACC Liverpool can confidently cater for our every need. I personally have not visited an interlinked arena and convention centre with so many positives for our sort of convention, and I am really looking forward to bringing the Association to what promises to be a superb venue.”
Kerrin MacPhie, Director of Sales, ACC Liverpool, said, “We are delighted to have won the opportunity to host the International Bible Student’s Association for what promises to be a unique and vibrant event."
"The Association’s growing congregation, coupled with our ability to offer flexibility has proved to be a winning formula. This flexibility along with our imminent expansion plans have become key factors for clients booking events with us as far ahead as 2020”.
