The Next Generation Of Conference Spaces

Having worked in the events industry for well over a decade we’ve seen our fair share of good, bad and downright beige conference spaces. It is our opinion that conferences should be inspiring and interactive spaces, as this is the best way to engage delegates. Therefore as specialist conference organisers, we believe the conference space should reflect these values to help inspire the next generation of workers.

With this in mind, we want to introduce to you a venue space perfect for levelling up your conference and creating a truly unique, engaging and inspiring event- Curzon Cinemas.

Although it’s predominantly known as a great place to watch the latest movie, Curzon Cinemas offers a truly unique venue space for your next conference that our team can use to create an unforgettable conference event.

So What Makes Curzon Conference Spaces so Special?

You may be asking yourself why you’d book a cinema for your next conference. However, due to its facilities and ability to adapt, Curzon Cinema venue spaces are not only viable for being booked as a conference space but are actually one of the most unique, engaging and creative spaces we have come across for hosting conferences.

Expert Tech Teams On Hand

As a Cinema, Curzon has some of the best screens and tech available to help showcase your conference. Normally, as a conference organiser, you would need to source a trusted tech team to ensure presentations, projections and AV are working correctly, however by booking a Curzon conference space, all of this comes as standard plus the tech team know the venue space and tech they are using like the back of their hand, minimising any technical risk.

Furthermore, there’s no need to worry about hiring stages, screens, microphones or lecterns- Curzon offers this as standard when booking them for your conference event.

Plus rehearsals and technical support come as standard, therefore if you need to get your speakers in early to test microphones, or you want to see how presentations look on the big screen, this is all part of the service.

Great Locations

With locations all across the UK, you’re certainly not limited to where in the country to book. Many conferences we organise are booked within London due to how central it is for a lot of clients. With 7 venues in total in London alone including their flagship branch: Mayfair, you can choose which venue suits your conference perfectly.

Below we have listed all of the Curzon Cinema venues that can be booked for conferences:

• Aldgate

Fantastic Facilities

We have already mentioned the excellent technical facilities Curzon venue space offers clients looking to book a conference space, however, they also offer a wide range of other highly desirable facilities.

With each venue having its own unique personality and design, Curzon Cinemas are a move away from the beige and bland conference spaces delegates are used to. With industrial-inspired bar areas, vintage cinema tables, outdoor terraces and 1940’s inspired hangouts to mention just a few of the unique interiors.

All of the venue spaces offer comfortable seating, ensuring that your delegates don’t fidget due to spending time sitting on not-so-comfortable seats. Additionally, many of Curzon cinema’s spaces also offer side tables, ideal for delegates who want to take notes or use their laptops.

What’s more, with a unique bar area in every venue space and catering to meet your every need, you can ensure your conference attendees are well-fed and watered. From their morning coffee and pastry pitstop to a cocktail hour with canapes for after-event networking.

Branding Opportunities

Cinemas are notorious for having lots of advertising areas, promoting the next biggest blockbuster or the latest film showing. When booking Curzon for your conference space, they can utilise these areas to put up company branding, posters about the event and more.

Furthermore, as a lot of these branding opportunities take the format of digital screens, you can save on your budget and save on the environment by taking your branding digital and creating event material that can be displayed on digital screens.

This makes these venues an ideal choice if you are also looking to launch a new product or host a brand activation event.
