Be an Ambassador - Be in Good Company
Professor Andrew Hamnett
Principal and Vice Chairman
University of Strathclyde
The University of Strathclyde has been instrumental in bringing some major conferences to Glasgow recently. We have worked closely with the Convention Bureau which has provided excellent quality help and advice. The Ambassador Programme is also strongly supported in the University, where many colleagues have worked hard to enhance the reputation of the city as a great place to hold conferences and meetings.
Sir Muir Russell
Principal
University of Glasgow
The Support offered by the Convention Bureau through its Ambassador Programme is an invaluable extra resource for University of Glasgow staff who are organising conferences in the city. This partnership not only serves to raise awareness of the University of Glasgow as a leading centre of research and expertise, but also increases the city's profile as a conference destination both at home and overseas.
Professor Pamela Gilles
Principal & Vice Chancellor
Glasgow Caledonian University
Glasgow: Scotland with Style positions our city as one of the most ecxiting, dynamic, cultural, creative, friendly and diverse places to live and work in Europe. The Ambassador Programme caputres the energy of the City in a way that reflects the values, goals, activities and modern physical environment at Glasgow Caledonian University. The Convention Bureau staff and our partnership with them, therefore, enhance the University's profile and allow us to reach out to new audiences around the world.
Professor Seona Reid

Glasgow has so much to offer and the Ambassador Programme is playing an important role to ensure Glasgow provides conference organisers worldwide with the information and resources they need to make their conference a success.

I have found the support and advice of the staff of the Convention Bureau really helpful. Their enthusiasm for Glasgow as a venue of venues is infectious and the speed with which they can pull everything together helps to make it all happen.

Support from the Convention Bureau in arranging professional and social events has been invaluable and, as a result, our professional societies have found Glasgowan excellent destination for major international academic meetings and conferences.
