Welcome to the 2018/19 edition of the York Conference and Events Guide – the definitive guide for planning and holding a successful event in York. We’re proud that York is one of England’s finest and most beautiful historic cities. Dating back to the Romans in AD71, York has been a city of great importance and a meeting place for over 2000 years. The city doesn’t stand still either. York has one of the strongest economies in the North of England and the fastest internet speeds, as the UK’s first Gigabit City. Its dynamics as a conferencing city follow suit with lots of new developments and investments taking place. More than a decade of investment has helped to transform the city into an international hub for science and technology, and a growing centre for enterprise, creativity and commerce, making it the perfect platform for business-related events. There really couldn’t be a better time to hold
an event in York. 2018 is set to be an exciting year with an incredible festival line-up that would provide delegates with a truly unique experience. Marvel at the York Balloon Fiesta, visit Europe’s first ever pop-up Shakespearean Theatre, or see the city awash with colour during York’s brand NEW festival, Bloom! We’re passionate about York and we’re delighted to present our fabulous city to you, together with the inspiring possibilities it offers as a destination for business events. With experience of professional conference organisation and in-depth local knowledge of the city and surrounding area, we are the official conference bureau - and your York event experts.

"I like York for its choice. Of venues, things to do and lots of added value"
"I like York for its wealth of things to do and see, and all a short stroll from each other"
We have members attending our Day of Celebration from all around the world, so location, overall appeal and accommodation provision are very important to us. York’s well located and the appeal of the historic city, together with the accommodation service means our event will be well attended and enjoyed.
A suitable venue is just one of the things we look for in a destination. When it comes to organising our conferences and events, delegates expect the whole package – activities, ease of travel, great food and plenty of things for them to explore. We’re looking forward to holding our 2019 conference in the city.

"I like York for its Shambles! a street full of history that demands exploring"
"I like York for its greats - great history, great photography, great shopping and great food"
VisitYork4meetings were not only helpful but also very patient as I always have key criteria to meet. Their ideas and help with negotiations for our event venue were invaluable which is why we would definitely consider York again.
Even after 10 years of holding the annual PCR Conference in York, I’m still amazed to find something different each time! The variety of venues, together with its accessible location is what makes me return to York time and time again. The on-going support of the VisitYork4meetings team, is fantastic too.
