Amanda's lead role in the EICC's successful temporary guardianship of the Edinburgh Convention Bureau is a great example. Her high standing in local and national hospitality and tourism industry and government networks is another. 'Since the EICC first opened in 1995, the international conference and events landscape has become more competitive, fast changing and challenging. 'Today, EICC's priorities include being equipped to compete successfully in an increasingly competitive market; exploring new opportunities for innovation and benefits arising from the Edinburgh Tourism Visitor Levy coming into effect; and responding to anticipated outcomes of the Council's review of its Arms-Length Companies, due to conclude this year. 'With Amanda as our new CEO, the EICC Board is looking forward with confidence to embracing a new and exciting era for the EICC, defined by mutually respectful and collaborative ways of working designed to sustain, secure and strengthen EICC's reputation as a global conference and events destination of excellence.'
