EMBO Conference 2017 – Anaerobic protists: Integrating parasitology with mucosal microbiota and immunology
“NewcastleGateshead Convention Bureau offers invaluable support to local conferences. From start to finish they provide support and assistance with the large and the small details that may have been overlooked if left to our own devices. They offer a seamless care package for us sourcing not only the venues, but the accommodation and social events too, saving me hours of researching and phone calls to arrange everything independently. Why reinvent the wheel when you can receive help from the experts, they have all the best solutions and contacts! Their friendly and kind support makes my life much less stressful.”

“Thank you for all your help and information – it is absolutely smashing and gives us a really exciting range of options to look over to see how they would best suit our conference needs. I am absolutely thrilled about how useful the service is, I could never have pulled together this many choices.”
Lasairfhiona Swift, School Research Officer, Newcastle University
“I have been in contact with NewcastleGateshead Convention Bureau for just over a year now, and they made my first (and daunting!) experience of conference organisation much more manageable than I could have imagined. They are on hand to give the conference organisers expert advice, tours of venues and provide suggestions to tailor our conferences that I would not have considered alone. Their bespoke packages for event options are excellent, including sourcing accommodation on a very strict budget. Their free promotional material and accommodation website service has been invaluable. I’ve had assistance from the convention bureau for three large international conferences over the last year, one of which was secured through their support. The team are an absolute pleasure to work with, everything is clearly explained and nothing is a problem for them. I hope their services can continue to assist us in the future.”

British Society of Gerontology conference 2015
“Newcastle Gateshead Convention Bureau provided a highly professional service which fully supported our three day academic conference with delegates from around the world. The Bureau provided an excellent service during our conference planning period, which included identifying potential sites for the social programme and helping us choose the most suitable venues, identifying and block booking hotels, negotiating a competitive conference rate and linking bookings with our conference website. During the conference, the Bureau assisted us with their ‘meet and greet’ service at Newcastle Central Station, which was hugely appreciated by delegates. Nothing was too much trouble and the assistance the Convention Bureau provided contributed to our conference being rated as ‘outstanding’.”
