Conference Venues

There are a huge selection of event and conference venues in the Bedfordshire region, so whether you’re looking to stage a huge event, product launch, small exhibition, conference or business meeting, you’ll be well catered for wherever you find yourself in the county.

All you really need to do is decide what you need from the venues on offer. Bedfordshire has everything from the historic, the ultra-modern, the grand, the cosy, the academic, the sporty, the quiet, the urban, the rural and some that are a combination!

Whatever you’re in the market for, you’ll be sure to find it here and with the excellent transport links that meet up all across the UK, your delegates will have no problems with joining you.

When you’re putting together a conference or event, you know how important it is to get the venue and location right, these two things will set the tone for the whole event and will influence how successful it is, how those who attend behave and how motivating an environment it is. Because of this, it is important to look at your options carefully, so do take some time to look at our range of conference venues.

To help you in your search we’ve put together a handy checklist for you:

• Find out how many people are attending, do you need a lot of space or are only a few tables and seats needed?
• How important is the location? Do you need somewhere quiet or would you prefer an urban space?
• What technology will you need? Are you planning to supply your own or would you rather have a venue where everything is all set up for you? Many of Bedfordshire’s larger conference venues have fully stocked facilities with a wide range of technology options.
• Do you need over night accommodation for you or your delegates? If so, choosing a hotel venue or one near accommodation is a must.
• Do you need outdoor space?
• Are you planning to incorporate team building exercises into your event? Will you need somewhere close to major attractions or activities or a venue that is based on the same site?
• How much parking will you need?
• Do you need help with the organisation? Many of the larger venues have dedicated teams that can help with the putting together of your event and are on hand during the whole thing to make sure it runs smoothly.
• Do you need refreshments during the day? What kind? If you’re thinking of full dining options then a hotel with corporate packages is a good choice, or if you are only wanting drinks and snacks, there are a wide range of options for you.
• Do you need to be close to an airport, train station or motorway junction? Will you be arranging transport if not? These are important things to consider if your delegates are joining you from around the country.
• What kind of message do you want to convey? If your company brand is all about pushing boundaries or being modern, then choosing one of the more unusual or newer facilities would be a better option, while a more traditional setting or an historic building would better suit a company with traditional values who want to promote a different kind of message.

Whatever it is you need from your event, you’ll find somewhere to suit your taste and budget here in Bedfordshire, so whether you decide that you need a small room with enough space for a few people to discuss business or you want a large space for demonstrations with additional break out areas and a golf course for afterwards, you’ll find what you need here.
