ConferenceLeeds and its conference ambassadors have pledged support for Leeds’ bid to become European Capital of Culture 2023, following Northern Ballet’s world premiere of Casanova in the city recently. Further support for the bid has also been recently announced, with high-profile sponsors including Yorkshire Bank, Yorkshire Building Society and Yorkshire Water.
ConferenceLeeds launched its proactive search to find conference ambassadors across the city in 2016, in its key sectors of healthcare, digital, professional services and manufacturing. Since then, several conference ambassadors have joined the programme to support the city’s ambition to drive business tourism to the region and build on 2016’s success, with Leeds’ move to become the fifth most popular conference destination in the UK in the most recent British Meetings and Events Industry Survey.
