"I do" Love Planning a Wedding!

First you have to set a date, then find a venue, then choose your wedding party, find a wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses, then pick out the tuxedos for the Groom and Groomsmen. You also need to plan the meal, the flowers, the invitations, the music, the photography and the list goes on and on.

Convention Centre 2.0

Technology is a huge part of the day to day for most people. A power outage, a dead battery, a computer or cloud crash and we’re all scrambling to cope with withdrawal.

In this world of hyperconnectivity it is imperative to be present and engaged in all things social media. By nature a convention centre, and really any meeting facility, is meant to be a social environment, so it follows that such buildings should do everything possible to allow their visitors to connect and share with each other.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone! Welcome to 2012!


With the beginning of a new year comes the tradition of making  new year’s resolutions.

Do you make resolutions at the beginning of each year? If so, do you keep them?

Social Media at Conferences – Distracting or Adding Value?

While Social Media, like Twitter, was still finding its audience, many people viewed conference attendees who were sitting on their smart devices ‘chatting’ to be distracting, disengaged, rude and inconsiderate.

This viewpoint has shifted greatly over the last couple of years, and Social Media has become more widely accepted and utilized at conferences.

WHEN IS SOCIAL MEDIA BEING USED AT CONFERENCES?

Well the answer is simple, Social Media is being used before, during and after conferences.

Is Anybody Listening?

We are now into the thick of conference, convention and meeting season. Conferences, Conventions and Meetings are typically a welcomed addition to a busy work schedule. They offer an opportunity to break away from the sometimes repetitive day-to-day. They provide an opportunity to explore the world outside of the office and a chance to connect with people; people who will introduce new thinking, challenge old thinking, or expand existing thinking. Conferences, Conventions and Meetings provide immense opportunities for learning, growing and connecting.

212° of Service!

This week the London Convention Centre staff will be taking steps to further improve the already stellar service offered to clients and guests.

While we regularly receive positive feedback for our services, we believe that there is always an opportunity to further notch up our service to provide those in our building with an experience that far exceeds their expectations.
