EICC's celebrates 10 years at the top

The Edinburgh International Conference Centre last week marked its 10th birthday with over 300 people attending a special celebration lunch.

Since 1995, the EICC has staged nearly 2,000 events, attracted over 600,000 delegates and counted over 1.25 million delegate days, raising in excess of £164m for Scotland and Edinburgh.

'Ten years is a short time in the international conference business but we have already set new benchmarks for conference quality and technology in that time,' said CEO Hans Rissmann (pictured). 'Our innovative development plans will keep Edinburgh and Scotland front of mind for conference organisers worldwide and we must now fire their imagination for the unique level of adaptability in our offer.'

The EICC is also planning a £30m expansion which will include prestige office space in a development scheme that will occupy the last remaining site in Edinburgh's city centre Exchange business district.
