NEWS: AECC celebrates Silver Anniversary this year!
Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) celebrates 25 years in business this year (September 2010). To mark this special occasion, AECC are inviting clients, suppliers, supporters and partners to come together to join the venue’s team to celebrate what is expected to be Aberdeen’s largest charity dinner dance this year. The 25th anniversary birthday party will take place on Saturday 25th September 2010 in the Press and Journal Arena and aims to give something back to the local community while remembering AECC’s history.
The confirmed headline act for the evening is 2009’s X Factor runner-up Olly Murs. This will be Olly’s second visit to AECC after appearing on the X Factor Tour earlier this year where he was a massive crowd pleaser with his unique twists on old classics and signature dance moves. Also appearing, and adding an extra Scottish twist to the night, are The Dangleberries – a band who add bagpipe influences to ‘rock’ music with a unique blend of vocals, drums guitars and bagpipes. As a finale to the celebrations guests will dance the night away to an 80’s style disco true to the decade in which the AECC was built.
To coincide with the 25th anniversary the AECC venue team has pledged to raise £25,000 for CLAN (Cancer Link Aberdeen and North). CLAN is a charity that assists and supports all those affected by cancer. A number of AECC staff members have relied on support from CLAN in the past, so it is a charity close to many hearts. All profits from the birthday event will go directly to CLAN.
