Conferences have the potential to create a positive impact on society. At the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC)  we can provide the ideas, connections, and support needed to extend the impact of your event beyond the conference centre and into the wider community.

Our new Impact Network is designed to foster collaboration with the local community, inspire the next generation, and increase public engagement. Aligned with the five pillars of the UN SDGs -  People, Planet, Prosperity, Partnership and Peace - it supports transforming ideas into actionable initiatives.

Together, we can build a brighter future and make a difference.

How to get involved.

Explore - learn more about the five pillars and select those that match your goals.

Discuss - your vision with your EICC contact.

Connect - we will connect you with our network to bring your vision to life.
