Liverpool is a modern, vibrant city proud of its rich heritage, world trade roots, famous for its friendly people, and known worldwide for football and The Beatles!

Since being named European Capital of Culture in 2008, Liverpool has regenerated into a world class destination with a dynamic reputation. Liverpool is regularly cited as the most successful Capital of Culture to date, with the prestigious title providing the catalyst for huge investment and building developments within the city.

Liverpool is brimming with culture and heritage; it has one of the most impressive collections of museums and galleries in Europe. The city not only has a celebrated past as a mercantile hub and gateway, but is now also a must-visit destination for lovers of art, theatre and museums.

One of the most instantly recognisable city skylines in the world, Liverpool Waterfront is where the city boasts its maritime and merchant heritage and its modern face most proudly. ACC Liverpool, the venue for ISPP 2022, sits at the heart of the waterfront, and is part of what makes Liverpool such a special city today.
