The two-day conference, which began on Dec. 8, is the annual gathering for those involved in the staging of major events for business, sport and culture. Like so many other fixtures on the conferences calendar, Host City 2020 was held in a virtual mode as a result of the pandemic.
Paul Bush, director of events at VisitScotland, one of the conference’s supporting partners, said in his final remarks that among the highlights of Host City 2020 was hearing speakers say "events will return… we just don’t know when, how and what shape they will be".
