Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting
On behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, I would like to thank the ECB team for your tremendous support, commitment and enthusiasm for what we planned to do. Special thanks for your staff’s unflagging “can do” attitude throughout – nothing seemed too unimportant or difficult to tackle. Special thanks also to CABS who set up and monitored the hotel booking website page, and for your help in promoting the event to the Edinburgh Ambassadors programme and to members of the media.
Paul Davies, Deputy Executive Secretary, Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting

International Primatology Conference
While everyone who bids to bring the IPS Congress to their country has good justification,
the key to our success in bringing the event to Edinburgh has been the support of ECB. The consumate professionalism of ECB together with their invaluably impartial advice and confident enthusiasm about Edinburgh as the world's best destination for our event not only helped to convince IPS to award the congress to Edinburgh but crucially helped sustain us through both the highs and lows of the bidding process.

10th Biennial Conference International Endotoxin Society
I came into contact with the Edinburgh Convention Bureau to get initial plans and sponsorship together to put in a bid to hold the 10th Biennial Conference International Endotoxin Society 2008 in Edinburgh. ECB staff were very enthusiastic and helpful. I am impressed by the detail, quality, speed, scope and professionalism of assistance provided by ECB and am pleased to help promote the organisation and bring it to the attention of others here at PSP for whom it is likely to be extremely beneficial and helpful in the future

International Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology
'The Edinburgh Convention Bureau worked hard to bring the ISPE conference to the city. After the arrangement was confirmed they were very supportive and responsive as detailed plans for the meeting evolved. Volunteers like me who get involved in organising a Society conference really need (and appreciate) this kind of backup.'
Keith Beard, International Pharmacoepidemiology Society, 18th International Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology

Joint Meeting of the European & American Association of Psychologists, Lawyers & Social Workers
'Having someone in Edinburgh, in the Convention Bureau, who knows or gets the answers, promptly, pleasantly and exactly what wanted, has proved exceptionally valuable and reassuring. The bureau has sent supporting literature to every conference we have nominated as relevant, even if we have been unable to attend them personally. The Bureau's support has been so timely, friendly and effective.'
