The kind of event it takes
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.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
