LAST week’s British Council of Shopping Centre’s annual conference at Liverpool’s BT Convention Centre generated an estimated £1.5m for the city’s economy.
Almost 3,000 delegates attended the three-day event which is the biggest annual gathering of the retail property industry in the UK.
Based on an average spend of £500 per delegate, the conference is thought to have generated around £1.5m for the city’s economy.
Jacquie Rogers, BT Convention Centre general manager, said: “The BCSC conference and showcase is one of the most significant events to be held in the BT Convention Centre since it opened in Spring this year.
“In addition, due to the scale of the event, the conference also made use of the adjoining Echo Arena.”
