About us

Established in May 1991, the Bordeaux Gironde Convention Bureau is a non-profit organisation composed of local government agencies, professional organisations, tourist boards, and private businesses whose activity revolves around business tourism in Bordeaux and the Gironde.

Partners of the Convention Bureau are:

- Local government bodies: the City of Bordeaux, the Bordeaux Urban Community, and the Gironde General Council.

- Professional organisations: the New Investors Office, the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the CIVB Bordeaux Wine Council,

- Tourist boards: the Gironde Department Tourist Board as well as individual tourist information offices in the Gironde.      

The private companies belonging to the BGCB propose quality venues (exhibition centres and convention centres, hotels, function rooms, meeting rooms, reception areas, and châteaux), conference organisers and service providers adapted to business tourism.

The BGCB has an annual budget of approximately 360,000 euros, financed equally by subsidies and fees paid by professional members.
