The ACC Liverpool Group is set for another packed calendar of events at its waterfront venues this year, as the organisation celebrates 15 years of trading.

Tens of thousands of visitors are expected to attend conferences, live shows and exhibitions at the M&S Bank Arena, ACC Liverpool and Exhibition Centre Liverpool.

What to expect?

Conferences taking place in the city include UKImaging and Oncology Congress, British Society of Gastroenterology and global events such as the Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress.

The city will also welcome exhibitions, such as IBA BeerX UK, the Ultimate Show and the UK Drum Show.

Along with the Eurovision Song Contest on 13 May at the M&S Bank Arena, highlights on the entertainment calendar throughout the year include Disney on Ice, Elton John and Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals.

Faye Dyer, managing director of The ACC Liverpool Group, said: “2023 will truly be a phenomenal year for us and Eurovision will really showcase our city and campus. It’s thanks to our successful track record of hosting great events over the past 15 years that has led us to being the host venue.

“But there’s lots more going on before and after this global event.  We have a really busy programme of conferences, entertainment events and exhibitions throughout the year.  Many highlights will return such as the Labour Party Conference and Comic Con Liverpool alongside lots of new events and artists such as Lewis Capaldi performing at our venue for the first time.

“We are really looking forward to welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors to a variety of events this year.”
