Edinburgh Ambassador Programme
"The Edinburgh Ambassador Programme is a great asset to the City of Edinburgh. Having a network of like minded peopel willing to share their experiences in the world of conferencing has been a tremendous support."
- Prof. Martin Tangney, Edinburgh Napier University


The Federated Logic Conference (FLoC), July 2010
"Cooperation at conferences, networking and the sharing of ideas is always a benefit. This conference helped to get the School of Informatics on the international platform. The reputation of the School is very high and so a conference like this helps us showcase this and ultimately attract the best talent to Edinburgh and to Scotland."
- Prof. Leonid Libkin, School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh


International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP), July 2013
"I regularly run meetings for 50-200 people but a meeting of over 1,000 was just too big for me to contemplate. ECB took me through the whole process step-by-step. They explained everything from budgeting and registration through to how to 'wow' my delegates at the gala dinner. I went from being terrified to host the conference to being terrified I might NOT host the conference!"
- Dr Lesley Sloss, International Agency, Clean Coal Centre


18th Commonwealth Forestry Conference, June 2010
"The support from ECB was very good and they came up with things we had not thought about. They also provided marketing leaflets for us to promote the conference at the World Forestry Conference in Argentina which took place prior to ours. This generated a good response and little things, such as sponsoring a bottle of whisky to give away on the stand - simple but very effective."

"Conferences are terribly important for the city in terms of profile of the individual industries and the great thing about Edinburgh is the amount of expertise there is  such a wide range of different fields."
- Jonathan Taylor, International Policy Branch for the Forestry Commission Edinburgh


International Mycological Congress (IMC9), August 2010
"ECB assisted me in preparing the bid. I was very impressed by the support I received and the fact that I only had to deal with the scientific part in the bid, everything else about the city and letters of support were handled by ECB."
- Prof. Nick D Read, Fungal Cell Biology Group, The University of Edinburgh


EMBO Chromosome Segregation and Aneuploidy, June 2010
"I am really appreciative of the professional support that we received from Edinburgh Convention Bureau. We had delegates attending from all over the world, staying at two different hotels and a high-end hostel. We depended on ECB for negotiating room allocations and hotel booking links.

Overall we were extremely impressed at how smoothly the process was handled. We were contacted after the event by a number of delegates who wanted to tell us how much they enjoyed their experience in Edinburgh."
- Bill Earnshaw, Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, The University of Edinburgh
