Conferences in Bristol

Bristol is well known for its digital and creative industries and is home to many internationally recognised companies such as Aardman Animations, HP Labs and Strava.

The region is also at the heart of the South West Aerospace Cluster, the largest of its kind in the UK. This supports 98,000 jobs and has been valued at £7bn. Airbus, Rolls Royce and BAE all have headquarters based in Bristol. With two leading universities and an abundance of talented professionals linked to key sectors, Bristol is an attractive destination for both corporate and association conferences.

Key conferencing venues for large events include the University of Bristol, Bristol Marriott City Centre Hotel, Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel and The Bristol - A Doyle Collection Hotel. Bristol will increase its capacity in the near future with the addition of the upcoming YTL Arena Bristol (due to open 2024). It will consist of three halls including a multi-purpose, flexible space that can be used for corporate events and a 17,000-seat arena, making it the third largest arena in the UK.

There is an abundance of creative venues in and around Bristol that are perfect for conferencing including We The Curious, Bristol’s interactive science centre; Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world’s first luxury cruise liner which boasts event space both on and off the ship; and Aerospace Bristol, home to the last Concorde to ever fly which was built in Bristol.
