The kind of event it takes
A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.
- 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.
