Why was the venue chosen?
The city and the venue were chosen because of Liverpool’s appeal as a conference destination and its reputation in the medical sector. This, together with the popularity of the event and strength in programme, led to more than 1,700 delegates attending from 68 different countries, up from 1,200 in 2011.

Final word
Dr Tony Falconer, outgoing President of the RCOG, said: “This year’s congress was our biggest yet in terms of attendees. We had a great venue for the event - ACC Liverpool is one of the largest conference centres in the UK right in the heart of the city.”
