1. Expansive corporate events venue that's (uniquely) big on hospitality: Convene @ 22 Bishopsgate

City of London

Hospitality is at the heart of Convene @ 22 Bishopsgate, a trait we find makes it a unique corporate events venue for several reasons. Convene is located right in the middle of the corporate capital of London: the City, but you won't find an outdated and sterile corporate atmosphere here. Convene is welcoming, relaxed, and as mentioned, operates with hospitality at its core.


Covering a sprawling 37,800 sq feet, the kitchen at Convene operates like a small, independent restaurant utterly dedicated to fresh, seasonal ingredients, elevating corporate catering to a higher level and standard. Its commitment to sustainability in this area makes it a leader in corporate events and we expect other venues in the industry to follow this inevitable trend.


Convene provides everything for a corporate event under one roof—space, modern, stylish furniture, technology, catering, staffing, and planning so that you can experience your event like an attendee, without any of the worry. As for hybrid events, Convene Studio adds a virtual component for up to 10,000 remote attendees and comes complete with virtual production teams.


From executive summits to training workshops, and industry mixers, Convene provides a unique level of hospitality that we should see more of in the industry.

2. A unique conference centre at the home of ping pong: Conferencing space, Bounce Farringdon

London

Fun and function come together at this unique conference centre. Offering a conference space for up to 400 guests, Bounce Farringdon is not without its own spot of history. Billed as the place where the very first game of ping pong was played, it’s also the original Bounce venue.


Host your attendees with the help of a TV, projector, microphone and activity tables (for any scheduled breakout sessions) and relax knowing that this space is fully adaptable, so you can arrange it as much as you’d like.


As it’s close to Chancery Lane and Farringdon station, it’s a convenient choice for city attendees and out-of-towners alike.

3. A former chocolate factory turned stylishly unique conference centre: The Menier Lounge

London

If there was ever an ideal creative space for a conference, Menier Lounge would be it. Situated on Southwark Street, the former chocolate factory turned venue has been host to shoots, product launches and, you guessed it, conferences.


Head to the first floor and be welcomed by the plush velvet sofas, plants, exposed brick walls, wood floors, large windows and a private garden. With space for up to 55 guests, it’s one for smaller conferences and networking events.


Catering options are available, although they’re just a walk away from London Bridge favourites like Borough Market, Flat Iron and The Breakfast Club, so it’s really your call.

The West London venue offers a unique conferencing space, complete with astroturf, floor-to-ceiling windows and prints of brands like Marmite.


Unlike Marmite, this conferencing space isn’t polarising as it can be adapted to suit your needs, and up to 100 attendees.
