CALIFORNIA DREAMING Bournemouth certainly has that California vibe.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll know you’re in a pretty extraordinary place, brimming with fresh ideas, lots of talent, a vibrant and eclectic social scene and a pretty impressive sunshine record.

Bournemouth is a hub of business and academic innovation in a dream location. It’s one of the fastest growing economies in the UK, with no sign of slowing. Micro-breweries, trendy little bars, cosmopolitan eating and quirky boutiques blend with a new multi-screen cinema complex and the usual suspects in branded shopping.

A short distance away is a seven-mile stretch of golden sands and the thrill of the UK’s first pier-to-shore zip wire. Mostly the sun shines – and by night the place comes alive with music, dancing and pop up events.

A string of major investments in infrastructure, facilities and restoration projects have created, and continue to build, the perfect setting for business and special interest groups to launch, promote and showcase new ideas and thinking.

SO WHY NOT JOIN THEM? You’ll find Bournemouth a truly inspiring place to bring delegates and guests any time of the year.

THE HEALTHY OPTIONCLEAN, GREEN

AND INSPIRING

Said to be the greenest county in the land, Bournemouth is the only UK town to join the Earth Charter Initiative, a diverse, global network of people, organisations and institutions driven by sustainable principles.

Businesses, associations and charities are adopting a more ethical, environmentally sensitive approach to the way they operate. They want to inject fresh air, optimism and a healthy, vibrant feel in to their conference and meetings agenda.

Bournemouth has got behind bold and imaginative regeneration strategies, investing heavily in infrastructure and developing a creative strategy for promoting and delivering healthy and fulfilling lifestyle choices that work for all. It’s become a year-round attraction for sport and fitness enthusiasts from runners and paddle boarders to cyclists and swimmers.

Bournemouth is an active, five-star member of the Sustainable Food Cities Partnership, making healthy eating, supporting local suppliers and provenance a defining characteristic of the town.

Bournemouth’s beach and surrounding buildings are the setting for fitness festivals and events, bringing thousands of people into the town. Twice yearly, there’s a Les Mills fitness festival at Bournemouth International Centre, providing free activities for local people to sample the many fitness choices on offer in the area.

Just a few miles west of Bournemouth is the famous World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast. Charting 185 million years of Earth’s history along a 95-mile stretch of protected coastline from East Devon to Dorset.

The region’s major event venues, Bournemouth International Centre and Bournemouth Pavilion, are run by a social enterprise with a passion to improve and enrich lifestyles in the local community with events and activities accessible to all. Both venues are committed to reducing their carbon footprint and encouraging event organisers to do the same.

Among many stylish and individual hotels, the Green House Hotel is a role model in ethical accommodation, with its solar

power, energy-efficient lighting, eco furniture, fixtures and fittings, locally sourced produce, high welfare standards and a commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle. More traditional hotels have been upping their game too, with smart and efficient meeting and event spaces, inspiring interiors and four-star guest accommodation, often with stunning views out over the bay.

Pretty well everything you need is within walking distance of your hotel and venue. Banks, shops, green spaces, local attractions and places of interest and of course the pier, promenade and beach. Buses are modern and plentiful. The station is a short bus or taxi ride away from the town centre. If you fancy a stroll in the sunshine, you can walk it in less than half an hour.

AND THIS TOWN HAS IT ALL.

BusinessEventsBournemouth.org.ukBusinessEventsBournemouth.org.uk 54

Bournemouth is a hugely successful incubator for innovative start-ups in the tech and creative industries. It’s become a magnet for a high calibre workforce, thanks to the enduring presence of major businesses such as LV, JP Morgan, Nationwide, Sunseeker and Lush.

Strong scientific and medical credentials in academic research, such as the centre for orthopaedic research at Bournemouth University, create a credible affinity with major medical and scientific associations planning to include Bournemouth on their conference rosters.

The active participation of local under graduates in the global tech and creative scene is legendary, with powerful contributions to the making of numerous blockbuster films, among them Blade Runner 2049, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2; Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Gravity, Slumdog Millionaire and Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

All this energy is creating an irresistible vibe that is attracting some 140,000 business visitors events every year. What’s extraordinary is that it happens all year round, whatever the weather.

Bournemouth ticks all our boxes as a dynamic and attractive business destination and Bournemouth International Centre as a secure, respected and well-managed venue.

Steve ShortGMB Executive Officer

Business Events Bournemouth have been extremely efficient at arranging all the accommodation and the public engagement promotion for our client. The BIC Staff have been pretty amazing and a pleasure to deal with.

The annual conference and exhibition is our main event of the year. Everyone’s been really helpful down in Bournemouth. Yes we will definitely come back, it’s a really great place.

Claire Benton, Board Director British Academy of Audiology (BAA)

I now understand why people like us have events here. It’s a lovely place with a great atmosphere. Our delegates pick that up right away. They feel good and positive, and that brings positive conference outcomes to take forward.
