Drop in Information Sessions

Are you currently organising or considering hosting or delivering any academic conferences, professional development events or short courses?  If so please join us on Monday 19^th November 2012 to find out how CPD Services here at the University of Aberdeen can help you. 

Previously the Information Sessions were held jointly with Aberdeen Convention Bureau who closed its doors on August 31. This heralded a new era for global promotion of the North-east as a business tourism destination with VisitAberdeen taking over this role.  VisitAberdeen is a cross-sector partnership, supported by Aberdeen City Council, and has the key objectives of stimulating partnership working, improving the product of the city for the visitor and marketing Aberdeen to identified target audiences.  VisitAberdeen are unable to attend this Information Session but will provide us with an update on their activities and hope to join us at the next event.
