Edinburgh, United KingdomJoined 2026

John McIntyre Conference Centre provides us with a flexible conference environment within the University of Edinburgh's Pollock Halls campus. We are located beside Holyrood Park and at the foot of Arthur's Seat, giving our delegates an attractive setting while remaining within easy walking distance of central Edinburgh. Our conference centre can accommodate up to 300 delegates and offers several rooms that allow organisers to create different combinations of plenary, breakout, meeting and exhibition spaces. We provide fully accessible rooms, modern audiovisual facilities, open-air terraces and an informal Centro bar for refreshments and post-event discussions. Our wider campus also offers accommodation close to the conference centre, helping us provide a convenient experience for residential conferences and multi-day events. We support academic, professional and corporate gatherings, including conferences, seminars, exhibitions, meetings and networking events. With our combination of flexible indoor spaces, outdoor areas, on-site facilities and convenient Edinburgh location, we provide organisers with a practical environment for bringing delegates together.
