Discover the Benefits of a PCO

A Professional Conference Organiser (PCO) is a company dedicated to the planning and delivery of conferences, meetings and business events. If you are planning on bringing a conference to Edinburgh, a PCO can help with the organisation and administration of the event at any stage of the planning process. But is it worth it? What do they actually do?

A World Leading Business Destination

Edinburgh is second only to London in the UK as a destination for international conferences in the worldwide ICCA (International Congress and Convention Association) rankings. The ICCA ranking is a reflection of the entire city and is based on the number of business meetings held per year. As the Convention Bureau, we submit results on behalf of the entire city – so we need your input!

Building business tourism
through creative collaboration

Make It Edinburgh brings together the city’s business tourism sector thanks to six key Partners. It’s an ongoing, collaborative, city-wide campaign to put Edinburgh at the top of the UK’s business tourism rankings – and keep it there.
