Glasgow Convention Bureau has been named the UK’s Best Convention Bureau for the 18th consecutive year at the prestigious M&IT Awards in London on Friday, 13 September.

Dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of the events industry, the M&IT Awards were launched in 1987 and honour the remarkable accomplishments of industry leaders and innovators.

Aileen Crawford, Head of Glasgow Convention Bureau, said, “For the whole team in Glasgow, for the convention bureau and the whole team across the city, winning the M&IT Awards for the Best UK Convention Bureau for the 18th year is really something special.”

“The M&IT Awards hold a special place in the meetings and events calendar because its winners represent the best of our industry and – equally importantly – are chosen by the industry,” said Paul Harvey, editor, M&IT.

“Glasgow Convention Bureau’s 18th win in a row is testament to the team’s hard work, experience and passion for meetings and events. It’s a truly amazing achievement – don’t underestimate how tough this category is – and to keep coming out on top year after year in such a competitive field is something that the team at Glasgow Convention Bureau can be extremely proud of. Congratulations to everyone on the team!”

Organised by M&IT part of Northstar Travel Group, the glittering and glamorous M&IT Awards are in their 37th year.
