The City of Edinburgh Council is a progressive, outward-facing local authority with wide-ranging responsibilities, including schools, social work, housing, economic development, parks and green spaces, culture, sport, roads, transport, festivals and events. The Council is committed to playing a dynamic role on the local, national and international stage, and this includes working with partners to attract world-class events to the city. Several years ago the Council created the much-lauded Events Planning and Operations Group (EPOG) to handle the operational requirements of organisations planning to deliver events in the city, and this is now recognised as an exemplar of its type.
