Destination Emirates Old Trafford is excited to announce its new membership of the Association of British Professional Conference Organisers (ABPCO) for 2025. The partnership is focused on strengthening the venues connections within the association meetings community following a surge in interest from association event organisers since the expansion of its on-site hotel and meeting space, the Hilton Garden Inn Emirates Old Trafford.

Through its membership of ABPCO, Destination Emirates Old Trafford intends to showcase the potential of sporting venues and stadiums as unique settings for association events. Nicola Pinder, Senior Business Development Manager, Destination Emirates Old Trafford, shared her enthusiasm: “Since the expansion of our hotel last year, we’ve been connecting with more association event organisers, and ABPCO offers an invaluable community to learn from. We're thrilled to be part of this network.”

Nicola added, “We’re excited to introduce our new ‘destination-style’ venue to the association community. We believe we have something exceptional to offer association event professionals. More importantly, we’re eager to hear insights from event planners and gain a deeper understanding of their needs.”

Heather Lishman, Association Director at ABPCO, welcomed the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to welcome Destination Emirates Old Trafford into our membership. We’ve followed their expansion with interest, and with the addition of more hotel rooms, they now offer an ideal, all-inclusive destination for association events. We look forward to seeing them actively engage in our strategic taskforces, which drive ABPCO’s continuous improvement for our members.”
