Politicians, national and international businesses, trade groups, professional associations, companies, societies and federations - the whole world comes together in Manchester, a city with everything to offer for every kind of event or conference.

Manchester has undergone a series of massive transformations over the years and today is internationally recognised as one of the UK's leading conference destinations as well as a thriving, creative hub, and the largest and most successful economic region outside London.

The city has a proven track record of staging world-class events and has successfully hosted events including the European Aerosol Federation, Society of American Travel Writers, the International Brewing Convention and will once again play host to Europe’s largest political conference in 2008.

In the historical heart of Manchester, the Petersfield area is home to many of Manchester’s meeting venues - including the purpose-built convention centre complex. With an additional 250 venues throughout Manchester city centre and the Greater Manchester region - ranging from the vast MEN Arena and futuristic city centre Urbis, to meeting rooms at the historic Midland Hotel, lecture halls at Europe’s largest university campus - Manchester offers the ideal location, whatever your conference requirements, whatever your budget, the variety and options are limitless.
