Associations with an eye on hosting events in London have been given a boost with the publication of a directory to assist with their congress plans.
Visit London's London for associations directory is part of a unique event planners toolkit, providing information on the UK capital's range of purpose-built conference and exhibition centres, convention hotels, social, academic and unusual venues, as well as service and transport providers.
Sections on Value London and Gateway are designed to help planners make the most of London's wide array of cost-saving and sightseeing opportunities, whilst a section devoted to support services will put planners in touch with Destination Management Companies, Professional Conference Organisers, transport providers and other suppliers, vital for a successful event.
"This guide really puts into perspective how London is well equipped to welcome large congresses," said Visit London Business Marketing Manager Séverine Ougier. "From specific information on association-specialist event suppliers to details of venue openings and insider knowledge on how to stretch budgets further, London for associations is the essential tool to planning large events in the capital."
Association Sales Manager Becky Graveney added: "Supported by the Event Solutions team, the Visit London Association team's role is to help unlock the capital for congresses and help ease the planning process. Through our excellent relationships with partners and venues, we can ensure that London provides superb value, first-class facilities and a positive experience that will stay with delegates for a long time afterwards."
London for associations – a destination guide to meetings is further packed with useful information on organising discounted travel rates, planning pre- and post-event itineraries for accompanying partners, and compelling reasons to choose London as your next event destination.
