Occupying a strategic geographical location, and being a fastly-growing educational and business hub of North East England, the city continuously draws many entrepreneurs, researchers and professionals. They come to take part in a variety of business and scientific events - conferences, trainings, workshops, presentations, study days, etc. Newcastle has recently become an important conference centre of the region. Small and large meeting venues can be found in Newcastle's business centres, hotels, and also on the territory of the airport. They all are easily accessible by any means of public transport. Car-owners should not worry about where to place their vehicles, using spacious on-site parking lots. Leisure and shopping options are often available in the nearest proximity.
