Conference and business tourism is of vital importance to Manchester’s continued success.

In addition to the economic benefits that conferences and events bring to the city, the hosting of high profile events like the Labour Party Annual Conference, which generate significant media interest – also help to promote Manchester on the world stage as one of the places in the UK to do business.

Visit Manchester has developed strong working relationships with over 360 partners across Greater Manchester and through the use of our interactive conference website – www.manchesterconferences.com – and our annual Conference Guide, we seek to attract and support conference business within the city-region.

We also offer a comprehensive range of services to those looking to hold an event in Manchester. These include:

• Unbiased venue finding
• Conference venue and accommodation booking
• Advice and booking of conference support services
• Assistance with funding applications
• Bid preparations
• Site visits
• Providing images and maps and visitor information services
• Conference marketing support
• Event delegate registration
