Here's TTGmice's weekly round up of MICE developments outside of Asia.
Two London venues strike up partnership
Church House Westminster and Westminster Abbey have partnered to offer organisers and their delegates a unique experience in the heart of Westminster.
The two venues will work together to provide receptions, dinners and events across a host of spaces which includes cloisters, gardens, halls and meeting rooms.
Robin Parker, general manager of Church House Westminster, said in a statement: “I envisage receptions in the Abbey followed by dinners here at Church House or perhaps a day of conferencing at Church House followed by a tour and drinks at the Abbey.”
Church House Westminster has 21 flexible meeting spaces, the largest of which is the Assembly Hall, capable of holding up to 664 delegates.
Sofia to host next year’s European TCI Network conference
TCI Network has chosen Sofia in Bulgaria as the location for its European Conference in 2018.
Taking place from March 20-22, the regional conference will promote closer ties among cluster practitioners in Europe as well as allow a better understanding of the Balkan region.
The 2018 conference programme promises to be varied and will encourage 1:2:1 meetings as well as plenary sessions. Delegates will also have the opportunity to explore the city’s cultural attractions and monuments.
PCMA returns to Texas in 2021
The Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) will hold its Convening Leaders 2021, on January 10-13, in Texas.
The conference will be held at Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Centre, and is expected to attract around 4,200 global professionals for senior-level education, community building and orchestrated networking.
Meanwhile, the PCMA 2018 Convening Leaders will be held in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Music City Centre. Also, Pittsburgh and San Francisco were confirmed earlier this year as host cities for the 2019 and 2020 Convening Leaders respectively.
