The Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool (ACC Liverpool) is a multipurpose events and convention venue located on the former Kings Dock here in Liverpool. Although one single entity, the ACC is split between the 11,000-seat Echo Arena and the BT Convention Centre. Both are superb venues and I've worked there extensively since it opened. The ACC Liverpool became even larger with the opening of Exhibition Centre Liverpool in 2015 which will be connected to the main complex via a sky bridge.
A couple of weeks back I was there again for the annual conference of the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) - so it was a very busy three days with many different experts and practitioners from across the NHS and health sector. The brief was excellent - the marketing team had thought through what was happening over the event and the sort of images they required. Not only for this event, but also to promote for future conferences. This combined with my knowledge and local experience of the venue and breakout rooms meant that they got a wide selection of images. We even found time to get some staff headshots done, in between activities.
A sample of my work is below. Please don't hesitate to get in touch for a quote, if you and your organisation are looking for a Liverpool conference photographer. I am professional, reliable, covered by public liability insurance and a member of the National Union of Journalists and more than happy to have a chat on the phone.














I have worked at many medical and health sector conferences over the years, both at the ACC Liverpool and further afield - here are a few examples
BCS - British Cardiovascular Society conference - a multi day event, with exhibitions, networking, workshops and evening events all covered
European Healthcare Design and BCS - conferences in London and Manchester - work with repeat and regular clients at the Manchester Conference Centre and the Royal College of Physicians
My Dentist - Dental Surgery Launch photography - commission included ribbon cutting, speeches, surgery room photography and staff portraits. All completed in 2 hours !
The Health City Design International Conference photography at The Spine - 2 days of presentations, seminars and workshops. With 608 processed images delivered to the client within 48 hours of the event finishing, with some rushes for their social media channels available on both days.
