Visit West Convention Bureau, previously called Meet Bristol & Bath, is the official Convention Bureau for Bristol, Bath and the West of England.
Visit West Convention Bureau champions Bristol, Bath and the West of England as an unbeatable location for events and memorable team experiences.
We are a not-for-profit organisation, part of Visit West, the region's official local visitor economy partnership (LVEP), and we offer our free unbiased support and advice to inspire and help event planners to bring their meetings, incentive groups, conferences and exhibitions to our region.
We are available to support at any time during your event planning journey, whether that's finding the perfect venue, negotiating accommodation rates, connecting you with local suppliers, or helping shape an event legacy that outlasts the conference itself.
1. Tell us about your event - Share your dates, delegate numbers, event type, and any specific requirements; sustainability goals, accessibility needs, sector focus, legacy ambitions. The more we know, the better we can help. Go to event enquiry form here.
2. We do the research - We draw on our knowledge of the region to build a tailored shortlist of venues, accommodation options, and suppliers with availability, pricing, and access details included.
3. We make the connections - We arrange site visits, connect you with trusted local suppliers, and help you build a programme that goes beyond the agenda.
4. We stay with you - We're available throughout the planning process, not just at the start. Whether you need bid support, delegate travel information, or help developing a social impact strategy, we're a phone call or email away.
