Excel London wins £6m of events business
Excel London has won £6m of events business since being named as London’s first international convention centre (ICC) last October.
The wins will be worth an estimated £50m to the local economy from delegate spend, plus a further £50m of benefit from pending contracts.
ICC London Excel officially opens in May, and has confirmed event bookings up until 2015.
The venue’s expansion will bring an estimated £1.6bn in economic benefit to London by 2011.
Events booked at the venue include the European Conference on Optical Communications in 2013 and the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in 2014.
Excel London director of conferences and events James Rees said: “The sheer number and quality of events that ICC London Excel is attracting clearly illustrates why London and indeed the industry as a whole has needed an international convention centre.”

The September issue of Advance Production News magazine 2008 is out, listing all television and film productions with a budget, moving from development into preproduction. Staff from each production are about to start looking for crew, make-up, set, locations, graphics, DOPs and the usual ensemble that form the family of each production.
Remember we don’t pad out issues by repeating information, we only list new productions each month all budgeted, all with contact name, phone no, fax no, shoot dates, synopsis – everything you need to make contact without being out in the cold not knowing what production you and they want to talk about. APN is who and what you know, so if you’re hanging on waiting for news to filter down from your favourite old mate, cross your fingers that an APN reader doesn’t clinch the deal way before you hear about it.
With eight years of issues under our belt
, production companies come to us to let us know what they are about to shoot, so you can deliver exactly what they are looking for into their hands just as they are about to start looking for exactly what you are about to offer.
We don’t list student films, profit share, rubbish or dreamy productions by the deluded that will never see the light of day.
Each monthly issue of APN brings our subscribers information on all television and films about to be made in the UK, including overseas companies coming here to shoot and new production companies starting up. Our resubscription rate tells us everything we and hopefully you, should need to know.
