Host City is a great initiative for bringing together major event partners with influential decision makers where controversial issues are tackled. Highly recommended for those within the major events sector or those looking to move into it

Host City allowed for great networking and learning opportunities. It’s great to see that medical associations and sport organisations face common challenges, allowing to discuss common solutions

Host City 2019 confirmed once more to be a tremendous opportunity not only for networking but also for learning from other Host Cities’ best practices and innovative projects. It is undoubtedly the “place to be” for all professionals working in the events industry.

Host City 2018 determines “The Future of Major Events” in Scotland.
Record attendance and a forward-thinking agenda in Glasgow, 20-21 November 2018
The annual conference and exhibition brought together international sports federations, cultural events, large scale exhibitions and organising committees from around the world for two days of unrivaled insight, networking and business.
Speakers and attendees debated the biggest issues the major events sector faces right now and how will these impact its future; the rise of esports and new forms of fan engagement; how to provide the best conditions for host cities to succeed; what the sporting events sector can learn from cultural and business event hosting; security at major events; futureproof venues; city mobility and infrastructure and much more.
