The UK offers a rich diversity of venues for those lucky enough to be tasked with organising a meeting, conference, or corporate business event. In the UK, there are around 3,500 different venues to choose from: city centre or airport hotels, country house hotels, purpose-built conference centres, management training centres, college and university venues, and the various unusual and themed venues which range from tourist attractions to stately homes to theme parks, sports stadia, steam trains, and even a lighthouse or two. While over half of all venues are hotels, a significant and growing proportion are comprised of other types of venue (see chart below).
• Academic venues (9%)
• Conference and training centres (6%)
• Hotels (53%)
• Multi-purpose venues (12%)
• Purpose built convention and exhibition centres (2%)
In addition to the impressive array of venues, the UK has a number of other strengths in terms of its conference facilities and services. For example, the creativity and professionalism event management agencies and event production companies in the UK, probably the best in the world, its wonderful heritage and culture, the beauty and variety of its natural environment – all within a small geographical area, the English language – now the accepted world business language for many conferences worldwide, and the rapidly growing output of graduates in conference and event management and business tourism from over 50 UK universities.
