EICC 1 SA : EICC Business Portraits Picture by Stewart Attwood By Scott Wright ONE of Scotland’s biggest events destinations has underlined its confidence in the future of the conference market to rebound from the pandemic as it revealed it will host three major international conventions in the second half of next year. Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) announced yesterday that it will stage the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine, Cleantech Forum Europe, and the Society for Endocrinology conferences in September, October and November 2021. The events are respectively expected to attract1,000, 400 and 1,000 delegates respectively. The coup comes at the end of hugely damaging year for the Scottish conference and events sector, with the EICC last having held a major gathering in the middle of March – before the first lockdown to suppress the coronavirus infection rate was introduced.
