The results of the competitive tender were announced today.

“Together we have an opportunity to showcase what Liverpool has to offer international visitors, from its lively waterfront, grand architecture, and buzzing music scene, alongside being home of The Beatles and two very successful football clubs, and above all the hugely warm welcome from the people of Liverpool.
“We are looking forward to rolling out an outstanding event for our delegates, alongside our Liverpudlian partners.”
Alongside keynotes, there will be industry seminars and workshops, and a full day of B2B meetings.
