Press Release 12 June 2007 VISITBRIGHTON WELCOMES BUYERS AT HOUSE OF LORDS The UK’s favourite city by the sea is showcased to 50 major conference buyers The VisitBrighton Convention Bureau last week welcomed 50 major conference buyers to its summer get together at the House of Lords. The buyers included many top medical associations including the Institute of Biomedical Science, the Royal College of Pathologists and the Association of Clinical Research Professionals. The buyers were treated to a splendid three course lunch in the Cholmondeley Room, The House of Lords, London. A short presentation was also given by Serena Castiglione, Sales Manager at the VisitBrighton Convention Bureau. Serena Castiglione said: “More and more major medical associations are showing an interest in Brighton. We were recently voted the UK's healthiest city, and the sea is a wonderful stress reliever so it makes sense that people should want to bring their conference here to discuss health! “With over £200m of new developments, Brighton is recognised nationally and internationally as a successful, dynamic conference destination, combining a seaside location with a vibrant city atmosphere. Brighton develops and diversifies each year and this event provided the ideal platform from which to demonstrate to our key conference clients why the city is one of Europe’s leading conference destinations.” - Ends – For further information please contact: Lena Day/Anita Clements Rooster tel: +44 (0) 20 7953 8774 email: lena.day@rooster.co.uk/anita.clements@rooster.co.uk web: www.rooster.co.uk ABOUT VISITBRIGHTON CONVENTION BUREAU VisitBrighton Convention bureau offers a ‘one-stop shop’ for conferences and meetings in Brighton.
