4 Ways To Get Your Conference Spaced Out

We visited a large London venue to see how our furniture hire range can help turn an unbranded space into a fully functioning conference location. Products like our black stacking chairs, to our chrome poseur tables and aluminium bar stools turned a large unbranded venue into an ultra chic location.

Be brave - choose unbranded!

Large London venues increasingly have something in common - they’re unbranded! This means fantastic things for your event, because the only branding present is what you put up yourself. Although you might initially be faced with a huge, stark space, it’s really important to see the potential and make the most of all that lovely space and design a conference venue that’s memorable and perfectly set up for all the activities scheduled during your event.

Putting the memory into your meetings

When we visited our client who had booked a large location in London for a special meeting we saw how well our hire furniture fit into the many different rooms within the building. So, we’ve now written a guide to show you how you can design rooms for every purpose - with the help of our hire furniture!

1. Present

Presentations that invite large audiences to attend often provide a focal point during corporate conferences. They’re a fantastic way to introduce your function, or wind it down, as you have nearly everyone attending the same location. At these events, you can show promotional films, roundup key moments of the occasions and also thank those involved, possibly giving out gifts or awards too. As you can see from our photos, our conference seating was very wisely chosen for this part of the event - and we think it’s a fantastic choice for these and other events where you want smart seating that is also very comfy.

Safety and multi-seating

The rows and rows of black stacking chairs make a stylish contrast to the large and airy room, with the finish also appearing very smart and classy. This is a great look for those first introductions to your event, as well as ending ceremonies - as you leave a really classy impression on your guests. Another important factor for multi-seating events is safety, and on this occasion, our client also hire our linking loops, which keep chairs in neat lines so visitors can quickly exit rooms should they need too.

2. Exhibit/Network

Conferences are often attended by many different companies. Depending on the nature of your function, visitors may come to learn more about their industry, pick up tips on enlarging their customer base, and meet other people in a similar field. Our photos show how the right furniture hire choices can really bring a stylish look to exhibitions and booths. Whether booths are set up to show off products, or for simply meeting and greeting, our medium back stools and poseur table are chic, complementing the professional look of the exhibition spaces.

These stools make a great selection for these types of areas within conferences, as they are comfortable to sit on and are very contemporary looking. The seat rotates making communication easy, while the footrest and padded black leather seat adds to the comfort features even more.

3. Learn

As well as large presentations, your conference may have a series of smaller tutorials, seminars and talks on specific topics. This recent venue was so large many of these smaller meetings could be accommodated with ease. In addition to audio visual equipment, it’s necessary to make the right furniture hire choice here as well. When you have lots of seating that needs to be located in different areas for smaller meeting spaces, our black polyprop chairs are perfect.

They can be loaded on to chair trolleys for swift installation around buildings, and once in the desired location they are light and straightforward to move into place. Robust and with a curved seat back for comfort, our polyprop chairs are also exceptionally affordable - perfect when you’d like to hire large batches for fantastic rates!

4. Re-charge

Another very important aspect of conferences is food and refreshments! Whether prices for meals and snacks are included or not, offering the space to eat them is crucial. Regular breaks are much more than letting people refuel, they often provide great networking possibilities, which might result in more industry contacts being made, as well as knowledge sharing.

How to be productive...

It’s important to remember though, the most obvious reason breaks are integral to long events - they can make delegates and presenters much more productive. Being able to re-charge with a snack and refreshment can bolster motivation and keep everyone concentration throughout the day. As you can see from our photos from a recent event, our chrome poseur tables and aluminium stools really help to define potential break areas, with both products being perfectly made for these conference locations.

Conference venues that shine

The stylish chrome finish is modern, and very robust, so food spillages can be cleaned with ease. The light design and chic look is ideal in many different destinations, from cafes, bars, hotels, and of course - conferences!
