Tourism Minister Rebecca Pow has announced a competition to boost broadband facilities in conference centres across the UK.
A competition has been established for conference centres across the UK to apply for funding to improve broadband infrastructure. The aim is to enable the business events sector to host more international conferences at UK venues. For the purpose of this competition, an international event is one where at least 30% of the total delegates/visitors attending in person are international (non-UK) visitors.
