Choosing an event or conference venue

Whatever your needs, however specific your requirements, you’ll find the right conference centre or event venue here in Devon. You know how important it is to choose the right location; your choice of venue will to a great degree influence your event’s overall success, and how those who attend will behave and respond to what you have to say.

The larger Devon venues offer in-house events managers, and most venues have free Wi-Fi, good
audio-visual facilities for high quality presentations. Devon’s venues pride themselves on delivering exceptional hospitality and service – meaning businesses can focus on putting together a quality event.

When you’re deciding on a conference or event venue, make sure you’ve considered the following things:

• How far from rail, air or motorway links do you need to be?
• Is it important that you’re in a location with views or inspirational surroundings?
• What message would you like to convey?
• What technology will you need?
• Will you need outdoor space?
• Will you need on-site or nearby accommodation?
• Will you need refreshments? And if so, will you want full dining options, or just drinks and snacks?
• Will you need someone at the venue to help you organise any of the above?
• And of course – how many people are expected to attend?

Whether you decide that you need an intimate room for a small meeting, large venue with break-out areas, or somewhere special to hold an event, you’ll find what you need in Devon.
