Increasing national and international profile and tourism
Our large-scale cultural and sporting programmes bring millions of visitors to Glasgow and present the city on an international stage. We support the city’s visitor economy and enhance its reputation as a great place to live, work, learn, and visit.
It’s the PR opportunities and the networking opportunities. I think we’re privy to more information that we might not necessarily have got otherwise if we weren’t a member of Glasgow Life.
Glasgow Convention Bureau
Glasgow Convention Bureau competes globally to secure conference business. It works on more than 100 bids for major conferences annually. Over 150 businesses become members of the convention bureau each year.
