What amenities and equipment are important when hiring a conference venue in Covent Garden?

Many spaces can be used for conferences, but they need to offer the right amenities and equipment to actually run the event! The first thing you’ll need is high-speed Wi-Fi access, especially if you’re hosting a hybrid meeting. Audio-visual equipment is another must, usually either in the form of a projector or a TV display paired with a PA system. If you want to present some data in a more traditional way, you should also look for venues with whiteboards and flip charts. It’s crucial that there is staff on-site that can help you with any technical issues, if they come up.

Make sure the seating in the room is comfortable and convenient, meaning that it won’t tire out the attendees and will support them in participating in the conference actively. Theatre-style seating might be good for large gatherings, while boardroom and horseshoe layouts are great for smaller events. There should also be a designated breakout area - it can be an outdoor balcony, a cosy lounge, or simply a smaller meeting room adjacent to the main space.

Finally, think of all the things happening outside of the conference itself. Are there parking facilities for the guests coming by car? Is there accommodation for out-of-town delegates? Are catering services offered in-house? You can mark all of your required amenities in the smart search filters section on our platform and easily narrow down the results to just the best fitting options.
