SECC JOINS LEADING MEETINGS INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION
April 2010
The Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre (SECC) has joined
leading industry body, the Association of British Professional
Conference Organisers (ABPCO).
ABPCO aims to share experience and best practice between some of
the UK's best known conference organisers. The association also
works to maintain and further increase quality standards across the
meetings industry.
Between them, ABPCO members organise approximately 3,500 events
each year.
Ben Goedegebuure, Director of Sales, SECC comments;
"Continuously engaging with the conference and meetings industry is
important for a venue of our stature and we are keen to contribute,
hear and share best practice wherever we can.
"ABPCO's standards help ensure members deliver quality meetings
and events and always put their clients first, which matches our
strategy at the SECC; so it seemed a natural step to join."
ABPCO's Chair Rebecca Cadman-Jones adds; "The SECC has an
enviable track record of delivering professionally organised,
memorable meetings and events for all of their clients.
"Their experience as a venue will be hugely beneficial to our
members and their commitment to quality and continued improvement
is second to none."
In 2010, the SECC is celebrating its 25th anniversary
as one of Europe's most successful conference, exhibition and
concert venues. Since opening its doors in 1985, the Glasgow-based
venue has hosted more than 3,900 events and welcomed over 28
million visitors.
