GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT GLASGOW

General Information about Glasgow for Meeting Planners and Event Professionals

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the third most populated one in the United Kingdom. It expanded from a small village on the river Clyde to become nowadays the largest seaport in the UK. With the establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, the city became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment, and starting with the 18th century, it developed into one of Great Britain’s main hubs for transatlantic trade with the West Indies and North America. Glasgow is famous for its Art Nouveau and Victorian architecture, and is home to important cultural institutions such as: the Scottish Opera, the Scottish Ballet, the National Theatre of Scotland, the Theatre Royal, the Pavilion Theatre, the King’s Theatre, the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, the Glasgow Film Theatre, the Tron Theatre, the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), the Mitchell Library and Theatre, the Centre for Contemporary Arts, the McLellan Galleries, and the Lighthouse Museum of Architecture. Glasgow is also an important financial center. Located on the west side of the city, its famous financial district, officially known as the International Financial Services District (and less officially as ‘the Wall Street on Clyde’) is home to eight of the ten largest insurance companies in the UK, including Direct Line, Esure, AXA, and the Norwich Union.

The City as a Conference Destination

Glasgow is an important venue for many international conferences and conventions with topics ranging from business and medical science to religion and tourism. Some of the most notable conferences in Glasgow include: the SME Business Insight Conference – Productivity through People, an important event about business, finances and investments; the Glasgow Imaging Network Symposium,  a meeting of optical microscopy specialists from Scotland and abroad; the Festival of Life Scotland, also known as the Holy Ghost Service, one of the largest Christian meetings in the world attracting top government officials and business leaders; and the Scottish Tourism Month, a series of lively, engaging, inspirational and informative sessions about national and international tourism.
