Formats this suits
Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Grande Ballroom is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.
- 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.
