“We are absolutely delighted with this fantastic recognition by the UK meetings industry. To win in all three categories, including Gold for our Website, was fantastic in our first year of operation,” said Elaine Phillips, Head of Marketing and Communications at The Convention Centre Dublin. “It was a phenomenal year for us in terms of marketing activity, with a complete re-brand, developing a new website, marketing collateral, and a full schedule of PR and promotional activity around our launch in September 2010.”

Meetings Industry Marketing Awards are open to any organisation engaged in the organisation or provision of product or service to the UK meetings and events industry.

Phillips added, “We have seen significant return on investment, with over 300 events hosted in our first year, and marketing generated leads continuing to account for a large proportion of our overall enquiries.”
