Economic Impact Assessment of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC)

<< Go Back

We worked with KPMG to carry out the 2006 Economic Impact Assessment of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) in Glasgow. We were responsible for collecting expenditure data from visitors, organisers and exhibitors at a range of conferences, concerts, exhibitions and confexs, both national and international, to feed into the economic model developed by KPMG. Over 1600 interviews were carried out, using face-to-face, self-completion and telephone interview approaches. The work sought to assess the impact of the SECC on the local and Scottish economies, calculating total business and personal expenditure generated by events, and estimating the number of full-time equivalent jobs sustained by the activities at the SECC.
