If you're entertaining an ex-President, things have to be right so when Harrogate's new Yorkshire Event Centre was praised as 'a superb venue' at the Yorkshire International Business Convention, where Bill Clinton was headline speaker, it was more than gratifying.

However, YEC isn't restricted to providing a forum for the world's most charismatic raconteurs. It's also an ideal venue for public exhibitions, conferences, trade fairs, sporting occasions and events of all kinds.

Though very different in nature - and all requiring an individual, bespoke approach - every event has several common requirements: faultless organisation, exceptional facilities and in-depth assistance with marketing and planning. YEC has quickly built a reputation for the excellence of its service in these three key areas.

Being located approximately half way between London and Edinburgh, and at an east-west midpoint, YEC is geographically suited for national events.

This is facilitated by fast, easy access to major road and rail links, and our proximity to Leeds/Bradford International Airport.

Clearly, for exhibitors, the local audience is a crucial consideration ... and with 6 million people living within an hour's drive, in the 'golden triangle' of Leeds, York and Harrogate, you've a huge potential visitor base to draw on.
Additionally, the many spa town attractions of Harrogate are a magnet for approximately 3 million visitors each year, so there's more potential business for you right on YEC's doorstep.
