Kyoto Convention Bureau is an independent not-for-profit public organisation that operates in support of convention events in Kyoto. Kyoto Convention Bureau member companies and organisations contribute their support through direct and indirect involvement in convention events in the Kyoto region.

As introduced in the Support for Conferences section the goal of KCB is to provide services at no or minimal cost to those people who intend to hold their event in Kyoto, those who work in the MICE industry, and those who participate in conventions in Kyoto.

KCB experts provide information on conference facilities, accommodation, conference organisation companies, reception venues, entertainment and all other aspects of MICE planning. KCB can also arrange appointments for and guide planners through site inspection tours prior to an event as well as supply information on Kyoto to conference participants. KCB operates a wide brief available to an independent public organisation.
