Not just Britain’sbest beach…

Whilst there’s so much more to Bournemouth than its beach, it’s a pretty good place to start. Voted the UK's best beach in TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards two years in a row, the seven-mile stretch of uninterrupted golden sand and promenade is a hub of activity all year round.

The fact that Bournemouth enjoys a unique microclimate, some of the warmest sea temperatures in the UK, and enough sunshine to cultivate sub-tropical plant species in its Victorian gardens, is the icing on the cake.

Pier Approach, with its vibrant open space, sea view eateries and bustling bars provides a gateway to Bournemouth’s extensive gardens. Visitors can stroll seamlessly into the beautifully cultivated, Grade II listed green

space, which conceals an eclectic mix of street food and seasonal entertainment, from art exhibitions to festivals to ice-skating.

The town itself is a traffic-free hub of high street favourites and independent boutiques.

Known to locals as ‘Bournemouth’s Bond Street’, Westover Road offers designer labels, art galleries and jewellery along

its canopied walkway, whilst the Square boasts street entertainment, live music and places to watch the world go by.

And when it’s time to unwind, the town’s award-winning restaurants, trendy cocktail bars and independent breweries – not to mention the notorious live music scene – will bring the day to a lively (and late!) close.

It’s no accident that Bournemouth is a centre for health and fitness. Originally established as a health spa in the 19th Century, the town’s coat of arms reads ‘Pulchritudo et Salubritas’, which translates as ‘Beauty and Health’.

With its miles of beaches, acres of parks and neighbouring New Forest, the area lends itself perfectly to a multitude of outdoor sports and activities, which locals and visitors enjoy in equal measure.

From cycling and jogging along the seven miles of uninterrupted beach and promenade to yoga on the shore, the town’s unique geography and positive attitude to health is truly infectious.

Enjoy a friendly (or not-so-friendly!) game of volleyball on the award-winning Boscombe beach before treating yourself

to a healthy juice in the popular seafront beach bar, Urban Reef. Or if you’re feeling brave, learn to surf or paddleboard at the O’Neill sponsored surf school.

The recent introduction of Beryl Bikes – the town’s take on London’s ‘Boris’ equivalent – is testament to Bournemouth’s commitment to healthy living.

Couple this with annual fitness events including the Bournemouth Marathon; pier-to-pier swim; the British Beach Polo Championships; and the world's largest sport and music festival, Bournemouth 7s, and you’ve got yourself a truly inspiring destination and a very good reason to pack your trainers.

With the Jurassic Coast on our doorstep and the ancient New Forest a stone’s throw away, it’s not surprising we’re passionate about our environment.

Our commitment to sustainability saw us become the first local authority in the UK to join the Earth Charter Initiative, and through our 2020 Vision, we’ve set a target to reduce our CO2 emissions by 30%, which will help the UK hit its target of 34% CO2 reduction by 2020.

In 2015, Bournemouth Council showed its support for the global effort to tackle climate change by joining the Compact of Mayors and endorsing the Paris Pledge.

These initiatives align Bournemouth with other leading cities across the globe – something our residents and businesses alike are very proud of.

We’ve set our sights on becoming a ‘Green Economy Leader’ by 2020, placing us at

the cutting-edge of environmental protection.

To achieve this, our environment must be of a high quality and continually improving, which requires us to be incredibly proactive in encouraging both residents and businesses to reduce their environmental impact.

As such, we at Business Events Bournemouth work with venues with green credentials and recommend local suppliers that have a good record of using recyclable materials, sustainable products and putting environmental policies in place.

This bias towards environmentally conscious venues and suppliers ensures we can continue to promote sustainability, and inch ever closer towards our green targets.

Bournemouth has been officially declared a ‘Boomtown’, with significant developments in accommodation, transport, venues and the tech and creative industries. We’re incredibly proud that 50% of UK graduates in film, visual effects and video games industries are Bournemouth University graduates. Bournemouth and Poole are also the second-fastest growing area in the UK for start-ups.

With the nationally acclaimed Arts University Bournemouth, which has made its name as a specialist university for employability, and the highly-regarded National Centre for Computer Animation at Bournemouth University, it’s no wonder Bournemouth is a hub for innovative start-ups.

The local area is the proud home of an eclectic range of entrepreneurial brands including Jimmy’s Iced Coffee, Conker Gin, Black Cow Vodka, Green & Black’s, Lush, Farrow & Ball, Dorset Cereals, Dorset Tea and Animal, as well as international giants such as Liverpool Victoria, JP Morgan and Sunseeker, who have all helped to bring an extremely high calibre workforce to the area.

The digital industry in Dorset is also growing at an exponential rate. According to the Tech Nation report in 2018, over 7,500 are employed in the digital sector locally, which has grown by 25% since 2014.

We’re able to champion and support these brilliant brands through various start-up accelerators, regular meet-ups including

Meetdraw, Open Sauce, Silicon South and Virgin Start-up, and annual festivals such as the South’s largest celebration of digital, arts and culture, BOMO, and the UK's largest visual effects, computer games and animation festival, BFX.

This passion for innovation permeates the town, attracting some 140,000 business visitors every year, who soak up the thriving, creative community, and always leave inspired.

And with a string of lively bars, restaurants, cafés and clubs to choose from, you have ample opportunity to spoil yourselves rotten.

Considering Dorset’s foodie reputation, it’s no surprise Bournemouth offers a plethora of wining and dining experiences.

With its miles of coastline and close proximity to the New Forest, local delights range from fresh seafood, regional vegetables and hand-reared meats to delicacies such as Dorset Blue Vinney cheese, Jugged Steak and Portland Lamb. Couple this with the town’s love affair with beautifully crafted cocktails and independent breweries, and you have yourself a recipe for a delicious night out.

Local restaurants, coffee houses and bars can be found dotted along the

coastline, nestled in the gardens, and in the thick of the town centre.

With their different locations, each gem offers up a unique experience and atmosphere, from sea view dining at West Beach to aerial town views at Level8IGHT to outdoor garden drinks at Eden.

The GMB Congress is a key event for us. Consequently the union’s Executive Council takes great care to find venues that are suitable for the event. Bournemouth ticks all our boxes as a dynamic and attractive business destination and Bournemouth International Centre as a secure, respected and well-managed venue.

GMB

Business Events Bournemouth have been extremely efficient at arranging all the accommodation and the public engagement promotion for our client. The BIC Staff have been pretty amazing and a pleasure to deal with.

Fitwise Management Ltd

The annual conference and exhibition is our main event of the year. Everyone’s been really helpful down in Bournemouth. Yes we will definitely come back, it’s a really great place.

British Academy of Audiology (BAA)

I now understand why people like us have events here. It’s a lovely place with a great atmosphere. Our delegates pick that up right away. They feel good and positive, and that brings positive conference outcomes to take forward.
