Consultation
The Commission has undertaken various pieces of consultation during the study.
The first consultation was completed in June 2004. It focused on the central principle of whether London needs a large-scale convention centre, does it matter that London is falling down the international business tourist league table and what are the key issues that need to be addressed as the Commission progresses? This was the first chance for stakeholders to make their views known in writing to the Commission. View the consultation document and responses here and make your views known at info@londonicc.co.uk.

Leading into the second phase of the consultation, Focus Groups were held to gain feedback from a variety of stakeholders. Click here to read more.
In addition, some organisations in the conference/ convention industry have been running
their petitions regarding the question of a potential London ICC. The Meeting & Incentive Travel group petitioned hundreds of members for their views.
