Home > Ambassadors > Why Yorkshire South

This region has the five key elements for a successful conference - great locations, easy accessibility, superb venues, the right capacity and a destination that’s famed for hosting world class events.

Central Location

Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster are all centrally placed, with outstanding rail links and great proximity to the M1/M18 hub. Plus we now have our own International Airport (Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield Airport) and of course, just across the Pennines is Manchester International Airport with its hourly direct rail service to Sheffield Station.

Extensive Range of Venues

The region has a huge choice of venues for 2 to 12,000 delegates. That includes the largest
conference and exhibition space in Yorkshire, a colossal transformed steelworks and the UK’s newest racecourse facilities.

Fantastic Incentive Opportunities

Yorkshire South has a wealth of incentive opportunities.  Along with vibrant urban centres, we have glorious national parkland for teambuilding opportunities like Mud and Grit mountain biking days and horse trekking.  Click here for further incentive ideas.

 Professionals serving professionals

Yorkshire South Tourism, the region’s official tourism partnership, runs the Conference Ambassador programme. Yorkshire South Tourism is part of Welcome to Yorkshire and collaborates with public and private partners such as universities, colleges, Chambers of Commerce and the four local authorities across the region to boost tourism income. The Yorkshire South Conference Ambassador Programme plays a key role in this objective.
