What fits in this room
Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 590 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.
- award ceremonies
Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.
- product launches
A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.
- multi-track conferences
Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
