VisitBrighton has secured the ‘Brighton Collaboration’, a meeting of the world’s largest network of vaccine safety experts, this summer (16th – 18th August 2010).
Named after the city in recognition of the network’s origin following a presentation by Bob Chen, the father of vaccine safety research in 1999, the annual two-day international meeting will take place at Hotel Seattle, located at the stunning Brighton Marina. Over 30 international experts are expected to attend the event to set international standards in vaccination research and safety. It will be only the second time that the gathering has come to Brighton since its inception and further underlines Brighton & Hove’s growing reputation in the medical field having secured nine medical conferences in the past six months.
Darren Johnson, Convention Bureau Sales Manager, VisitBrighton comments; “Both the VisitBrighton team and the city have worked tirelessly this year to engage with and build on our reputation within the medical conference sector which makes this win is a real coup for us. Fighting of stiff competition from Boston and other cities worldwide to host this prestigious event, Brighton is once again showing that we compete on an international scale.”
