Host City 2017 kicked off in Glasgow on Tuesday with more event owners, hosts and organising committees attending than ever.

Host City, the world’s largest meeting of cities and sports, business and cultural events, took another major step forward this week, recording its greatest participation yet and with the announcement that the event will be returning to Glasgow in 2018 with a greatly increased exhibition.

 

More cities, event owners and organisers than ever joined the fourth Host City conference and exhibition in Glasgow to hear VIP speakers from international sports federations, cultural events, large scale congresses and mega event organising committees speak on the theme of “High Impact Events in the Current Climate”.

 

Attendees included more than 50 city representatives, 30 event owners, 20 organising committees, 15 media and two hundred delegates.
