Historically, to think of the UK & Ireland, is to see a gentle, fabled land freeze-framed sometime in the 1930s; home of the post office, country pub and vicarage. Right now though it’s better known for vibrant cities with great nightlife and attractions, contrasted with green and pleasant countryside.

From Stonehenge and Tower Bridge to Eton and Oxford, England is loaded with cherished icons of a past era. But it also does modernity with a confidence and panache left over from its days in the never-setting sun. Fashion, fine dining, clubbing, shopping - England's green and pleasant land rates with the world's best.
Meanwhile, it's said that Ireland, once visited, is never forgotten, and for once the blarney rings true. The Irish landscape has a mythic resonance, the country's history is almost tangible, and its people seem put on earth expressly to restore faith in humanity. Coupled with excellent conference hotels, unique venues, a dazzling array of activities and entertainment options, Ireland provides every guest with a memorable experience.
Scotland is a successful and memorable conference destination with a variety of conference cities, such as Glasgow, Edinburg and Aberdeen with their world-class convention centres. In addition, Scotland offers unusual historic venues and countryside retreats to suit all budgets. Innovation is in Scotland's soul. Innovation centres support breakthroughs in life sciences, low carbon, engineering, digital, space and robotics, making Scotland a natural location for conferences in these key sector areas. Hosting a conference in Scotland brings together the best of today’s modern infrastructure, easy access and a can-do attitude to make your conference a success, whilst also embracing history, traditions & culture that span 8,000 years of history.
As for Wales, it is in many ways just what you picture it to be: rolling moorlands, glaciated mountain areas, mellifluous male-voice choirs, tongue-twisting place names, 'Bread of Heaven', romantic castles and old mining towns. But Wales is more than this. Apart from the fantastic walking and cycling, there's also a wealth of water and adventure sports, horse riding and fishing. Add to this some fine festivals and Cardiff's nightlife, and you have a great destination awaiting you.
From the London Olympic & Paralympic Games, to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations, England, Ireland, Scotland & Wales combine four national identities to create one central destination that values business, that welcomes people, and that can find the right balance between work and play. |
