Ambassador Success Stories

There is no doubt that hosting conferences in Glasgow has consolidated our Institute’s reputation as one of Europe’s leading academic centres. The free conference support services provided by Glasgow City Marketing Bureau were invaluable.

Professor Graeme Burt, Institute for Energy & Environment, Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, University of Strathclyde

As Ambassador, I was the scientific figurehead for the European Sleep Research Society Congress, but was able to rely upon the professional and seamless support provided by the Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, working alongside our events company, to ensure the running of our Congress was such a great success.

Professor Colin Espie, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Director, University of Glasgow Sleep Centre and Head of the Section of Psychological Medicine

Thanks to the assistance of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau we will host the World Congress on Active Ageing in Glasgow in 2012. Bidding to host this prestigious conference, which takes place every four years, has already raised the profile of the work of Glasgow Caledonian University and Scotland in active ageing.

You can play a crucial part in your city’s development.
