John McIntyre Conference Centre – 10 Year Anniversary

Posted: 15th October 2019

Edinburgh First’s purpose-built conference centre, John McIntyre Conference Centre (JMCC) is celebrating being 10 years old this year! To honour this birthday we are hosting a party at the venue as well as offering some discounts throughout the year for those who are booking JMCC conferences or events up to March 2020!

The conference centre first opened its doors in 2009 and was opened officially by HRH Duke of Edinburgh. Since that time 137,524 delegates have travelled to Edinburgh to attend conferences in one of Edinburgh First’s more modern venues.

We are inviting those who are already holding conferences/meetings in the City to join us on Wednesday 13 November 2019 to celebrate with us and to have a look what the venue can offer.

For those who wish to book a conference in the JMCC up to March 2020, you can also take advantage of the extras you will receive on our reduced Day Delegate Rate:

  • Complimentary drinks reception with fizz and nibbles after your meeting or event
  • 1 in 10 delegates go free
  • 10% if our Day Delegate Rate will be donated to a charity of your choice

We will post more information on the Edinburgh First social media channels and website closer to the time, so please keep an eye out, however if you would like to secure a place or take advantage of the offers above, please email Helen Tweedie on helen.tweedie@ed.ac.uk
