The venue has 12 meeting rooms, 14 syndicate rooms and a world-class spa, at which 2 to 300 delegates can exercise their minds and bodies. Each meeting and conference room has natural daylight, fully controllable air-conditioning, broadband and wireless internet access. The experienced Meetings & Events team at the Runnymede treat each meeting or event as a one-off, individually tailoring the facilities and service to The Conference People’s brief.

The event is being held at the Thistle Hotel in Middlesbrough on 24 and 25 November.

Further event details will follow shortly.

I am currently working on some very exciting projects providing event management at some wonderful venues which The Conference People have provided venue finding services for.

After an extensive search from our venue finding team the JW Marriott was chosen as the ideal location situated next to the stunning Parliament Palace and rather appropriately the Romanian MoD. This hotel is a very grand 5 star property steeped in Romanian history and will provide the perfect back drop for this important event.

The Conference People event management and venue finding teams are very proud to be working with our client Falcon Communications on this event.

Over the past four years of managing the eBay University events we’ve met some wonderful people, not just at eBay Towers but within the community and the industry as a whole. We’ll be using these contacts and our own experience and knowledge to host a fantastic event that brings together the community in a business and social setting.

More details to follow soon……………

The Conference People are providing full event management for this event but are also providing venue finding services for 2009.

The CHA division event took place at MusicRoomSpaceEvents, in central London. This white gallery space provided the perfect blank space for the client to incorporate their own brand.

The CCV division event was held at the newly refurbished 45 Millbank, part of Chelsea Art and Design College. A stunning grade two listed building, 45 Millbank is just one of the amazing venues to be found on The Conference People venue finding database. Catering was provided by Relish Catering who did an excellent job and their sticky toffee pudding is to die for!

Also for the first time Random House used The Conference People delegate management system to book their delegates. This made the process simple and easy to use for delegates and made registration on site a very smooth process.

Recently we visited the city of Manchester, it has been about a year since I visited the city and so much has changed in 12 months. This time we stayed at the recently renovated Marriott Victoria and Albert hotel it is located in the city centre on the banks of the River Irwell across from Granada Television Studios. The hotel has eight meeting rooms, the largest accommodating 250 delegates theatre style. All 148 bedrooms are furnished to a four star standard, have original beam work, exposed brick work and high speed internet access.

For larger events Manchester United Football Club and Lancaster Cricket Club are located just 10 mins by Metrolink from the hotel. The Metrolink is a great way to encourage your delegates to move around the city to really minimise your conferences’ carbon footprint it is also great value too.

Manchester United comfortably accommodates 1200 delegates theatre style whilst located a short walk from the football stadium at Lancaster Cricket Ground accommodates 400 delegates in their Tyldesley and County Suite. Both venues offer delegates a more unusual style of conference venue as more and more now in the venue finding department we are often tasked with sourcing a more unusual style of conference facility.

Manchester is definitely a fabulous city to host an event being hugely accessible by road, rail and air. It also has seen a number of new hotel openings in recent years including the City Inn Manchester, Hilton Manchester Deansgate and opening later this year Crowne Plaza Manchester Centre.

The Conference People provided venue finding services and event management services for this event.
Using The Conference People delegate management system the delegate process from booking through to attendance was as smooth and ‘hassle’ free as ever.
