Unusual venues 'can make events memorable'

Saturday 08th of March 2008

Conferences and similar events held in non-traditional locations can meet with resounding success, as perhaps demonstrated by the LiveLife 2008 health conference which closed this week.

The event, which took place on March 5th in Rochdale, was held in the local Odeon Cinema.

Event management companies may note organisers booked television comedian and practising doctor Phil Hammond to draw in the crowd to the event, stating that they managed to attract substantial numbers of delegates.

Meanwhile, the local primary care trust took the opportunity to launch a statement of strategic intent, Rochdale Online Reports.

Event management companies London might like to consider unusual venues such as the Leatherhead Theatre in surrey or the London Art House, each space of which features furnishings overseen by fine artists to reflect characteristic styles of different periods, Conferences:UK.

Alternatively, for those looking to take to the water HMS Belfast offers four function rooms as well as two decks and ample history for delegates to take in.
