Programming it
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
