Conference venues come in all shapes and sizes and styles. What suits one person will definitely not suit another. When looking for a conference venue, there are so many things to take into consideration; will it be big enough to accommodate everyone comfortably or will it be too big and people will be rattling around? Is it easy to get to by public transport? If it is out of town, is there ample parking? What about catering – can the venue be flexible enough to offer a menu that suits everyone attending? Do they have adequate in-house AV? The questions are endless.

Here at Conference Venues London, we take venue finding very seriously. We understand all of the challenges associated with planning and running a conference. Finding the perfect venue can be a real challenge, so why not leave it to the experts?
