Choose Edinburgh for your event and you know your delegates will leave with incredible memories. Edinburgh Castle is arguably one of the world’s most famous buildings and is backdrop to the city’s spectacular New Year and Festival fireworks. The city’s choice of world-class museums and galleries is remarkable, providing many wonderful options for your social programme.
Edinburgh Airport is just 20 minutes from the city centre and has connections to 110 UK, European and international destinations. Rail travel also makes perfect sense and London’s King’s Cross is just four-and-a-half hours away. Once your delegates are here, travelling around the compact city could not be easier. The EICC is right in the heart of Edinburgh and a short walk from a great selection of hotels.
World-class facilities
The EICC’s outstanding facilities make it the ideal venue for your event. Every meeting space offers fantastic flexibility. The raked seating Pentland Suite can transform from an auditorium for 1,200 delegates into three separate auditoria in under four minutes. A further four adaptable suites subdivide to create 11 sound-proofed meeting areas and the Cromdale Hall can be set as a stunning banqueting venue for 850 people or as an exhibition space of 1185sq m.
Event Design; consider it done
Once you decide to host your event at the EICC your Event Designer will coordinate everything on your behalf. Taking payment from exhibitors and booking their furniture? It’s all part of the service. Running a seamless registration and exhibition? It’s taken care of. A huge team of specialists are available behind and in front of the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly and to add the sparkle and life that will impress your delegates.
High tech, low stress
Every event organiser wants to wow their audience. At the EICC our in-house experts make this possible. The production team bring a wide range of expertise and creativity which will leave your delegates wanting more. That could be digital voting for live interaction, or a dynamic multi-screen presentation. Or it could be harnessing our 3D projection mapping technology for an incredible visual experience.
Food, simply better
EICC are delighted to have Leith’s as a food partner. The talented chefs freshly prepare ingredients in the EICC kitchens, sourcing seasonal, local produce from trusted suppliers. That means delicious Scottish seafood, beef, venison, market vegetables, fruits and cheese. When you see everything on the plate, you’ll notice a refreshing lack of fussy presentation or complex garnishes and an ethos that believes food should be a simple pleasure.
Spring 2013 – Even more EICC
Why build a new multi-level expansion complete with a stunning glass atrium? Why specify a flooring system that can transform the main space from tiered auditorium, to arena-style, to flat-floored? Why build a high-specification lighting gantry with effects normally seen in high-end musical productions? It’s simple. The EICC is a space in demand because it gets things right. So capacity simply has to be expanded and filled with technology which transforms the venue into almost any configuration you can imagine for your event.
From spring 2013 the new facilities will be fully integrated with the existing venue. The glass atrium will provide the perfect welcome point and allow access to the new 1,600sq m Lennox Suite. This unique multi-purpose suite features moving floor technology so that it can be easily reconfigured into many different set-ups. Options include flat floored exhibition, banqueting for 1,400, tiered auditorium for 2,000 and arena mode for 1,400. n
