The British Association of Conference Destinations
BACD is a trade association operating within the meetings, incentive travel, conference and exhibitions industry.
BACD helps British destinations generate conference business through a range of marketing activities, information sharing, collaboration and education.
A key role is building business for Britain, increasing the volume and value of business being won by members. We fulfil this role through a range of marketing activities and by the provision of a unique venue finding service operated in close partnership with our members.
Another important aim for BACD is to act as a cohesive force and clear ‘voice’ within business tourism, forging strategic alliances with like-minded organisations nationally and internationally and playing a leading role in the future development of the conference industry.
