MICE Matters in Edinburgh

Welcome to the first issue of MICE Matters in Edinburgh, our new quarterly newsletter for event planners. We aim to keep you updated on exciting new developments across the city and inspire you to consider our fine capital city for your next business event. In the last year we have welcomed several new faces to the Convention Edinburgh team. With IMEX Frankfurt looming large next week, it is a great opportunity to meet the new team and also find out about our recently launched campaign, Make it Edinburgh.

Best Wishes,

Amanda Ferguson,
Head of Business Tourism
