INTRODUCTION 03

WELCOME

The Conferences UK team have created the Meetings Guide Manual with the aim of producing the definitive guide to meetings and events in the UK.

Our ambition is to profile and promote as many of our partners as possible and believe that we have achieved this by including 150 different venues within our first manual, providing you with direct access to some of the best venues in the country. The range and scope of featured venues will satisfy a diverse range of requirements – in short there should be something for everyone.

Alongside our featured venues we have created a simple guide to organising meetings and created some tips on selecting the perfect venue. As a team, we help thousands of people every year to find their ideal meeting place and we have taken this opportunity to share some of that accumulated knowledge. This includes a guide to some of the terminology used in the meeting and event sector, to unravel some of the ‘mystique’ associated with booking and organising a meeting.

The manual also includes a profile on the team behind the guide – those whose collective wisdom we have drawn upon to create the content. This also provides an opportunity for you to take advantage of this experience directly. We provide a free venue finding service that can match your meeting needs with perfect venue. In the unlikely event that you do not find what you are looking for in this guide, or even if you just need a little extra help, you can call us today on 0845 351 9917 and we will undertake a free venue find for you.

8 TIPS TO ORGANISE THE PERFECT EVENT

1. CALL CONFERENCES UKIt’s our job to help you find the perfect venue! Simply give us a call, and let us know where you want the venue to be, how many people it’s for, your budget and any other information you want us to know and we’ll help find you the venue that’s right for you at the best possible price.

2. DRAW UP THE PERFECT GUEST LISTIs it just employees that you’re inviting, or will you be inviting other people outside of your company too? Send out invitations or marketing in plenty of time, so delegates can respond. Decide which is the best way to distribute these: if it’s just your employees who will be attending, a simple email may be the best way. Alternatively, you could instead create a webpage for the event. Finally, remember everyone may not be able to attend, so you’ll need to bear that in mind when finding a venue and organising the catering.

£3. CREATE A BUDGET… AND STICK TO ITDraw up a budget and stick to it! Whilst you may think that money can buy the best in terms of things like the venue and catering; you need to remember that it will be you as the organiser of the event who will be responsible for the overall delegate experience regardless of the budget involved.

4. PLAN YOUR DAYMake sure you have a clear plan as to what you want to get out of the event, and then schedule in times for each section. Not only will this ensure you get everything covered that you wanted to; but by distributing the schedule to delegates will mean that they can prepare themselves for the day ahead.

HELFPUL HINTS AND TIPS 07

5. HAVE A BACK-UP PLANSo you’ve planned your day down to the last minute? Now you need to carry out a quick risk assessment and have a plan B in place for each activity just in case the worst thing possible could go wrong. For example, if it’s a team building event you’re organising, and you’ve planned the perfect exercise outdoors, make sure you have an alternate one that can be carried out indoors in case it decides to rain.

Planning any event can be extremely daunting – not only does it feel like a huge amount of responsibility, it can also appear like attendees will be watching your every move, and holding you personally responsible for whether the event is a success or not. But don’t worry, here at Conferences UK we’ve put together eight tips to help you plan that perfect event that EVERYONE will be talking about!

7. GET A GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER After planning the perfect event, you’ll want a photographer to capture the moment, and it’s best to hire one who has had plenty of experience in photographing corporate events. With a bit of investigating, you can find yourself a photographer who will not only take pictures of the event, but will provide you with images for your social media, press releases and any other activities you wish to show everyone what a great event organiser you are!

6. SECTION OFF SEPARATE AREASMake sure there’s another room that employees can relax during the breaks, so that they can take some time out and take their mind off of the information that they’ve been digesting; or maybe do some networking. Spending the whole day in one room can bore employees, and mean they can lose interest in the event, meaning productivity will be lower.

8. GET FEEDBACKOnce the event is over get some feedback from your delegates. For an internal meeting this can be as simple as a quick discussion with you colleagues, for a larger event there are plenty of free, easy to use, survey tools like survey monkey that you can use to send a simple survey out to delegates. This will help you get feedback on the event and the venue and adapt for the future.


10 TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE PERFECT EVENT VENUE

1. LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITYThis is paramount to maximising attendance. Your venue must have excellent transport links – air, train and motorway; plentiful (and if possible free or cheap) on-site parking. If the event is to take place on more than one day or has an early start / late finish – on-site or nearby accommodation to suit a range of budgets is important. Try to determine where most of your delegates or guests will be coming from and choose a location that is convenient to the majority. Assess your business needs and factor in the overall logistics when shortlisting your venues.

2. SIZEYou should choose a venue that is the right size and capacity, ensuring a good fit for your delegates and event. If you book a venue that is too large it might look like the numbers for the event have not been achieved and it is poorly attended and therefore unsuccessful. If you chose somewhere too small it will be overcrowded and uncomfortable and there may not be enough seating or space for networking.

Does your venue have spaces that meet your needs? Check with your venue the capacities of the spaces you are booking. You should also check that there will be sufficient staff working on your event and ask if you will have a dedicated point of contact.

3. COSTBudget is crucial when searching for a venue and you should always set this first. However, if you have found your perfect venue but find it falls outside your budget, consider negotiating before walking away as you may be able to reduce the costs in some areas to bring the event in within budget. For example, never take the price of a tea or coffee for granted – the price can always be negotiated and when added up, result in a substantial saving. Furthermore, don’t feel uncomfortable negotiating, the venue will expect a well organised meetings booker to negotiate at some point. Finally it is vital to understand what the package you are offered includes – is it everything you need or will you be charged for extra refreshments etc. When it comes to paying your final invoice you don’t want any unexpected costs that you hadn’t budgeted for.

4. LAYOUT OPTIONSDepending on what type of event you are organising, ensure your venue can set your room(s) out in your desired and optimum layout. You don’t want to be tied to a room that can only be laid out theatre style if your delegates have group work or discussion to do. Other factors to check include asking if there is there plenty of power, a robust wi-fi service and natural daylight. You might also want to determine whether it is close to breakout rooms and catering. Finally check to see if there are any obstructions that might prevent visibility of speakers or presentations etc.

5. MENUWhen it comes to choosing menus for your event, whether it is a drinks reception, a gala dinner or a simple buffet lunch, ensure there is something available to suit everyone. Within the parameters of your budget, you will want plenty of choice with hot and cold options if possible. It is vital to cater for dietary requirements and allergies and have the suitable alternatives available. It is a very good idea to book a tasting session when you go for a site visit especially if it is for a seated dinner.


Choosing the ideal venue for your conference and event can sometimes be a tough decision. It can determine whether your event is a success or failure. There is so much choice, a wealth of information available online and of course, limiting factors which will ultimately influence where you finally book.

6. AVAILABILITYFor larger events, it makes sense to check for other major events taking place at the same time, either in your events location or within your industry to ensure that you attract the maximum number of attendees. On a smaller scale, when you are shortlisting venues check whether other events are taking place there at the same time as this may impact on networking in common spaces.

7. CHECK THE SMALL PRINTIt is important to be aware of some of the key contract terms for each venue at a relatively early stage of your search. Understanding the venue’s approach to and flexibility towards minimum numbers and cancellation charges can be key, particularly when organising a larger event. For a more comprehensive overview of what to look for, check out page 12 of this guide.

8. TECHNICALFor even the shortest meeting or event, delegates want free, fast and available wi-fi so ensure this is available. It is also important to enquire about the technical packages available if you require equipment such as projectors, microphones, PA’s and audience response systems. It is vital to ask if there is technical support available should you need it.

9. SITE VISITIt is really important to go and visit your potential venue(s) as you often can’t make a judgement from the internet or a telephone call alone. Make a list of what you need the venue to deliver before you go and take a camera. During the visit you should assess a range of factors, including the welcome from reception, car parking, breakout spaces, catering facilities and the outdoor space (if required). Perhaps most important of all – are you confident in the staff to help you deliver the best quality event.

1. MINIMUM NUMBERSFor events based priced on a DDR (Day delegate rate) or which include an element of catering, the contract may stipulate a minimum number of delegates. When the contract is signed this become the baseline cost for the event. While it can be difficult to avoid committing to minimum numbers, you should ensure that these are set a low as possible to give you the maximum flexibility with your cost base.

2. PAYMENT TERMSThere are a variety of payment terms offered and no hard and fast rules apply here. The key point is to ensure that the terms offered match your requirements and in particular the cashflow pattern of your event. If they don’t, then negotiate terms that do – most venues are amenable to such discussion. It is also important to get a breakdown of the costs to establish absolute clarity on what is and what is not included in the rate and the VAT situation of each.

3. CANCELLATION TERMSAny contract review should include an understanding of what the cancellation terms are. This is particularly the case for events, as there are likely to cancellation charges. It is of course essential to check the size of the non-refundable deposit, however, the cancellation fee will increase as you get closer to the date of the event. Having a clear understanding of the penalties associated with cancelling your event can make a significant difference and assist in the decision making timetable, should your event be struggling to attract delegates.

4. ACCESS AND SET UPThe starting point here is to have a clear idea of how much time you need to set up your event and how long you will need to break it down. From there you can check that the access time to the venue is suitable. It is important to bear in mind that someone else maybe using the venue or room before you, so the contract will need to reflect a suitable amount of access time, to enable you to complete set up.

5. INSURANCEThe insurance clause will stipulate the type and limit of the cover each party to the contract must secure and maintain. This is important, particularly for larger events as it makes clear that in the event that something goes wrong each party is able to pay for the damages and loss they are responsible for.

6. SUPPLIERSCheck whether the contract restricts the use of outside suppliers. Some venues require you to use in-house suppliers or will charge a fee for the use of external suppliers.

6 CLAUSES TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A CONTRACTBooking an event can be a tricky business. This is particularly the case when you are securing a venue considerably in advance of the event date. In such cases you will need to contract with the venue well before some of your key variables – such as delegate numbers – are established. Here are our top tips for making sure you don’t end up regretting signing on the dotted line.

MEETING ROOM STYLES BANQUETINGDEFINITION The layout is similar to CABARET style, with a number of round tables in the room, which enable delegates to interact with each other and also face the front.

BEST USED FORThis layout is intended for more formal dinners and awards, where there may be a requirement for the delegates to face the stage. In addition this format can be adapted with the tables situated around a dancefloor in the middle or edge of the room. This format is better suited to a larger room.

To book this meeting room, call the Conferences UK team on 0845 351 9917 or visit www.conferences-uk.org.uk

CONFERENCES UK RECOMMENDSLocated just 10 minutes from J30 of the M5 motorway in 350-acres of stunning Devon countryside, Woodbury Park offers the perfect backdrop to any corporate event. The Greg Norman suite is a magnificent room with stage, integral bar and private terrace which can comfortably seat up to 250 people. The elegance of the room ensure an ideal banqueting or corporate hospitality venue for any occasion.

MEETING ROOM STYLES 15

MEETING ROOM STYLES BOARDROOMDEFINITION In this layout a rectangular or oval table is set up in the middle of the room with chairs around all sides and ends. These can be set up in a square, hollow square or rectangle.

BEST USED FORThis layout is ideal for smaller groups and promoting interaction between participants. It is often used for Board meetings, committee meetings, or discussion groups but is not the best layout for speakers or presentations.


CONFERENCES UK RECOMMENDSThe Crowne Plaza Chester offer products and services that support their guests to perform at their best. Holding between 8–80 delegates respectively, the Burton, Farndon and Roodee meeting rooms in the Meeting Centre provide the ideal setting for medium sized or intimate business events. With a maximum of 12 delegates, the Executive Boardroom has the ultimate in comfort with leather chairs, boardroom table and a flat screen TV for that all important presentation.

The space is completely flexible and there is an all day breakout area, the Conference Café where delegates can relax with a coffee and a snack, and still keep the conversation flowing with colleagues.


MEETING ROOM STYLES CABARET


DEFINITION In this layout delegates face the front on groups of round tables with focus on the stage set.

BEST USED FORThis layout suits presenting to and facilitating group work with larger numbers, where the use of round tables facilitates interaction between delegates. A side benefit is that rooms of this size and set up can be quickly converted to a BANQUETING STYLE for an awards ceremony or gala dinner.

WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS“One of the most important considerations when planning a successful conference is to ensure that your room layout suits the style of your event. Cabaret style separates your delegates into smaller groups and can be arranged to sit on one side of the table facing forwards. This is ideal for smaller based groups and also, if a presentation will be taking place at the front of the room. Cabaret style layout is particularly popular with training sessions, working lunches or team workshops.”

SIAN EDWARDS, BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT MANAGER, AMGUEDDFA CYMRU – NATIONAL MUSEUM WALES


MEETING ROOM STYLES CLASSROOM

DEFINITION In the classroom format, the room is set up in rows with conference tables facing the front of the room and is ideal for an event where there will lots of notetaking or computer work.

BEST USED FORThis is a good layout for training sessions and examinations. This layout allows larger groups to be accommodated at tables but does not allow for much group participation.


WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS“Conference Room 1 within the Conference Aston Hotel offers the perfect space for classroom style layouts, for up to 145. The suite offers natural daylight from the front and rear of the room and can be made private with automatic blinds on the main windows; the large room incorporates three large projection screens, microphones and sound system, with an onsite AV support team, ensuring the environment is conducive to learning for all participants. An additional conference suite is located next to the room, to provide storage for course materials and office space if required. The suites are on the ground floor of the hotel, and offer a quiet location that is easily accessible for delegates. One of many suites able to accommodate a classroom style layout, it sits within the main conference hotel building, at the heart of the Aston University campus, an environment that is purpose built for learning.”

KATHARINE ARMSTRONG, CONFERENCE ASTON


MEETING ROOM STYLES THEATRE


DEFINITION A Theatre Style room set up is a flexible format and is generally best used when the audience will be listening to a speaker or watching a presentation on the screen. Seats or chairs are set out in rows facing a stage, lectern, head table, or speaker.

BEST USED FORThis layout allows a larger number of delegates to be seated in a room and is a good choice for larger groups when note-taking or group work is not required. However it is less effective for group work and interaction and it can be difficult to take notes.

WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS“The Ludlow Suite offers 1300 sq m of pillar-free space giving optimum viewing lines for all delegates.Located on the ground floor, and with 5m high access doors, set-up and breakdown is fast and simple, and a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, with integrated black-out, means the suite can offer either natural day-light or a complete black-box environment.The suite can comfortably host 1480 delegates theatre-style, and a flexible design enables the suite to break into three acoustically sound sections, with each section capable of hosting up to 500 delegates theatre style. This flexibility of space means main plenary, catering and exhibition can be hosted in one dedicated space, creating a compact and easy-to-navigate event for delegates” RACHEL SMITH, FOOD AND BEVERAGE MANAGER, THE INTERNATIONAL CENTRE, TELFORD


MEETING ROOM STYLES U-SHAPE

DEFINITION In this layout the conference tables are set in the shape of the letter U, with chairs around the outside.

BEST USED FORThis layout is best for Board and Committee meetings, training courses and focus groups where the focus is on the speaker or presentation and there is a requirement for note taking, or referring to paperwork. A U-Shape layout is best for groups of less than 25.


WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS“As the largest of our first floor boardrooms, the spacious Richmond Suite is our most flexible upstairs room, perfect for up to 20 delegates in a variety of layouts to complement you’re working needs. A bright, airy, wide room with modern furniture and all your requirements considered, the Richmond really is the Jack of all trades within our original mansion house setting.The width of the room and the flexibility of the furnishings ensure it is ideal for all set up requirements, ideally complimenting U-shapes. With Glass writing boards and stationary as standard, there is plenty of room for delegates to brainstorm and utilise the setting for some ever useful creativity.” JAKE ROCHE, SALES EXECUTIVE, OAKLEY COURT, WINDSOR

CONFERENCES UKMEET THE TEAMBEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB: It has been hugely rewarding to have built a fantastic team over the years and seen the business grow from strength to strength.

TOP MONEY SAVING TIP:Always negotiate on price. It seems like a simple piece of advice but people often don’t and miss out on savings. Also never take the price of a cup of tea for granted! Catering costs can mount up and it is as important to negotiate on the prices of items that seem peripheral as it is on the core costs of the venue.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR CONFERENCE ORGANISERS:Simple. Proper planning prevents poor performance! Even the smallest meeting or event requires plenty of preparation to make sure everything goes to plan.

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID:Not planning far enough in advance leaves many conference organisers chasing their tails and making unnecessary compromises when bringing their event together.

FAVOURITE CONFERENCE VENUE:Langham Hilton Hotel is a superb conference venue with some stunning conference spaces.

BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:I am fortunate to have a really diverse range of clients, each one with very different needs. It has been really rewarding to build long term relationships with clients and be able to quantify the positive impact that Conferences UK has had for them.

MONEY SAVING TIP:Not everyone understands that using a third party agency such as Conferences UK is actually free. There is no cost associated with using the service and the customer benefits from the savings which our expert team of venue finders are able to achieve.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR VENUES: Two things. Best price first is critical in the current climate. Venues that respond quickly with their keenest pricing are more likely to secure that all important booking. Secondly, chairs! There is no excuse to roll out £20 conference chairs and expect delegates to sit on them for eight hours. Ergonomic chairs improve delegate comfort and ultimately customer satisfaction.

SIMON THOMPSON MANAGING DIRECTOR

RICHARD NEWMAN REGIONAL ACCOUNT MANAGER

“Proper planning prevents poor performance!”

“Best price first is critical…”

CONFERENCES UK 23

BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:Helping customers to find the best meeting venue for their requirements is immensely satisfying, particularly when they realise the service is free and how much money I am able to save them.

TOP MONEY SAVING TIP:Always take a look at the breakdown packages, as they can work out cheaper than a day delegate rate. I always do this on behalf of my customers and it often results in a saving for them. People are often time pressured and don’t get time to make the comparison – this is really where an experienced venue finder can help.

TOP TIP:If you are looking for a small meeting space, for example a 20 seat board room, leave the booking until the last minute as there are a plentiful supply of these rooms and some great deals to be had.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR VENUES:Offer flexibility on payment terms as this will help make the conference organiser’s decision to use your venue a straightforward one and is likely to result in a loyal customer.

FAVOURITE CONFERENCE VENUE:MSE venues offer exceptionally competitive rates with great central location, attention to detail and excellent customer service.

BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB: I get a real sense of reward from building strong relationships with our venue partners and helping them to build their business.

MONEY SAVING TIP: The ‘cheapest’ deal often does not work out to be the cheapest. Check the small print to see what is included and what might end up as being extras on any day delegate package. This is an area where an agency like Conferences UK can really help, particularly when you are under time pressure to find a venue.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR VENUES:Service is a critical part of the offering for our clients. Great service can make up for weaknesses in a product but nothing can really compensate for poor service, which will always have a lasting impression on a delegate.

FAVOURITE CONFERENCE VENUE:The Business Design Centre is a great venue, which responds rapidly to conference enquiries and always demonstrates great flexibility when accommodating delegate requirements.

CONFERENCES UKMEET THE TEAMBEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB: Finding venues for meetings and events always has its challenges, it’s that challenge that I love and makes my job different each day. Getting the right venue at the right price for my customers is a bit like completing a puzzle and brings fresh and new challenges every day so not every day is the same.

TOP MONEY SAVING TIP:Always make sure you are prepared when arranging a meeting or event. So often clients sometimes are not prepared with dates, delegate numbers, location to name a few, this then makes it harder to get best rates available and can then put clients off as the venues can only quote what information is provided and can result in higher rates being quoted.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR VENUES:Prompt responses to enquiries are absolutely vital. The quicker that we can get a response the more likely the venue is to get a confirmed booking from a Venue. Venues that offer their best price first time often benefit from a shorter decision making process from the client.

FAVOURITE CONFERENCE VENUE:Hinckley Island Hotel Leicester. After its fresh new refurbishment in 2015, Hinckley Island now host 25 meeting room with largest room holding 650 delegates, 362 bedrooms and over 300 complimentary parking spaces, it makes it one of the largest venues outside of London. With it being in the Midlands the location is perfect for delegates travelling, only 23 miles from East Midlands Airport, close to the M1, M6 AND M69 making it easily accessible from all parts of the country.

MY ROLE:I am responsible for helping clients to avoid any stress or wasted time trying to contact numerous venues when looking to book an event. I work to make the process as easy as possible for the client by using my contacts to push for fast and thorough responses from venues.

BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:I enjoy the unpredictability of each day as every client has different requirements. This has enabled me to get a detailed understanding of the range of different venues out there, which enables me to provide the best possible service I can for my clients completely free of charge.

TOP MONEY SAVING TIP:Try to be flexible with location and types of venues as this can help broaden the search, offering better rates and room for negotiation.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR VENUES:Offer the best possible prices from the outset and regard the speed of responses to enquiries as a priority in order to secure business.

CONFERENCES UK 25

MY ROLE:I provide full assistance to customers by finding the best venue that meets their requirements in addition to saving their time and money. I also act as the main link between the client and the venue until the event has taken place.

BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:I do really enjoy dealing with a variety of clients and providing them with beneficial help that can contribute in making their event as convenient as possible.

TOP MONEY SAVING TIP:I always tell my clients to book early to get great discounts, and make use of venue’s package offers as there are often huge savings to be made. I also try and encourage people to be flexible on dates and location, as this enables greater scope for negotiation.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR VENUES:Always offer good packages that can affect our clients’ decisions and respond to us as soon as possible so we can provide our clients with the quickest services in an efficient way.

ADAM SHAW VENUE FINDER

JAMAL SHAHIN VENUE FINDER

BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB:Being able to offer clients a thorough service, which they would struggle to do on their own, and knowing I have done as much as I can to assist them. I also enjoy the variety of enquires that come through, the job is always slightly different.

TOP MONEY SAVING TIP:Always take advantage of the ‘Venue Special Offers’ which are often available monthly on the website. Also, it’s always worth trying to get evening dinners and other services for a discount rate with large bookings, this is where the Venue Finder’s contacts and experience can be key.

TOP TIP: Always consider a broad range of venues and unusual options as they may present a better price or suitability to your enquiry.

MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF ADVICE FOR VENUES: Be quick and efficient with responses to enquiries and make the responses as detailed as possible, so the client isn’t left confused or unsure.

FAVOURITE CONFERENCE VENUE:Center Parcs venues often do great rates and offer a different experience to clients.
