Following a successful ABPCO annual conference in Manchester earlier this year, the Association will be holding its spring event at the Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre in Glasgow this week.
The forum, which will take place on Friday 11th March 2011 from 9.30am – 3.30pm and is open to ABPCO members and non members, will look at the following topics:
- The Glasgow model – a major new collaboration between the SECC and Glasgow City Marketing Bureau
- The use of technology within events – in particular EventEye by Futurelab
- A panel discussion around university event courses and the skills requirements of the industry
- Taxation – the recent VAT changes and the impact these have on the sector
- An introduction to the Beardmore for Health Sciences – a new world-class centre to cultivate clinical excellence, research and learning.
ABPCO committee member and organiser of the event Martin Jack sad: ‘We are very much looking forward to our forthcoming event in Glasgow. We have a broad range of delegates from PCOs, freelancers, venues, academics and students already attending. This event forum is a chance for our Scottish members and non-members to come together and benefit from networking and engagement with other professional conference and event organisers, industry colleagues and other professional bodies.
We are very grateful to the Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre for sponsoring this event which allows ABPCO to offer it free to all Professional Conference Organisers attending.’
