Uppsala Convention Bureau

Meetings and events are important for the tourism industry’s short and long term growth – which in turn generates job opportunities for Uppsala. It is one of the main reasons why Uppsala is investing in supporting meetings and events financially.

The event must:

1. Contribute to Uppsala’s economic growth as well as provide potential for development
2. Contribute to increasing the number of visitors and annual reservations
3. Contribute to strengthening the Uppsala brand
4. Strengthen the Uppsala brand through media exposure
5. Be unique
6. Be in the best interest for Uppsala’s long-term sustainability
7. Leave lasting values in the city and contribute to destination development
8. Involve the communal organisation in good time before the event
