2013 is
looking great for Eastbourne Conference Bureau with the highest number of
conferences and exhibitions booked into the Devonshire Park Centre in over 10
years.
Bringing an
estimated £11 million in economic value to the town, Eastbourne is set to
welcome a total of 21 overnight conferences and exhibitions this year, filling
up hotels and guest houses with over 15,000 delegates during the spring and
autumn months.
New for
2013 includes the Royal College of Anaesthetists bringing their annual
conference to Eastbourne for the first time, and the International Hearing Loop
Conference is set to bring attendees from all over the world for their global
event.
The news
comes hot on the heels of a successful autumn season which included high profile
politicians and a cabinet minister speech at the National Children’s & Adult
Services conference, and more recently the Youth Works Conference which proved
so popular, the event was trending on UK-wide on Twitter.
With many
conferences now embracing social media, organisers often display tweets and
blogs live on screen throughout their conference. Youth Works in particular
used this technology to maximum effect, reaching thousands more delegates unable
to attend in person, with hot topics and news of the day spreading the word from
Eastbourne.
Eastbourne
Conference Bureau actively build relationships in social media as part of their
marketing strategy, attracting new clients to the town and currently have over
700 followers on Twitter. New clients sourced via Twitter have also included
the UKIP party conference, who brought over 800 delegates to the town in
2011.
