History

Formerly part of the Edinburgh & Lothians Tourist Board, the ECB was formed as an independent company limited by guarantee following the introduction of a new integrated Scottish tourism industry network in April 2005.

Driven by integrity, professionalism and innovation, the ECB works closely with its main funding partners, the City of Edinburgh Council and VisitScotland, and with Scottish Enterprise Edinburgh & Lothian, to ensure a coordinated and focused approach to the marketing of the city as a conference destination.

Over the past six years (2000-05) the Bureau has contributed £262m to Edinburgh's economy.

Our services

Our dedicated team provides free impartial advice to conference planners. As part of our service, we produce professionally designed bid documents and bid proposals, allowing the city to pitch as the potential host for international conferences to be held several years in advance.

We can also offer assistance on a variety of aspects which are fundamental to the success of an event. This includes providing guidance on conference venues, accommodation, transport, social programmes, and pre and post conference tours and other conference support services.
