If you're on the lookout for a stylish venue to complement your hybrid or in-person conference, you've come knocking on the right door. With 20 versatile event spaces, and an enviable Marylebone location, 11 Cavendish Square is sure to captivate both virtual and in-person conference delegates.
3 Reasons We Love 11 Cavendish Square
1. Its location is ideal
Situated in the heart of fashionable Marylebone, a 5 minute walk from Oxford Circus underground station, the location of this venue couldn't be better. Surrounded by impressive buildings and the elegant Cavendish Square gardens, a conference here is sure to hit the mark.
2. It's accessible
All of the venue's main public spaces are designed to be accessible for wheelchair users, making a conference here welcoming for all. And with broadcast-grade live streaming and state-of-the-art videography on offer across the venue, delegates who can't make it to the venue won't miss any of the action.
3. It's versatile
With 20 event spaces to choose from, you won't be stuck for choices with this venue. Featuring several self-contained suites, your conference can be as private as you want, while still allowing attendees to network in the spacious foyer and courtyard.
From large lecture theatres to airy breakout rooms and a covered courtyard garden, the venue is set for any occasion. Here are some of the stylish event spaces that make this venue an outstanding candidate for a conference in the capital.
1. Burdett Theatre
Seating 280 delegates theatre-style, the self-contained Burdett Theatre can be transfigured to fit any event layout, and offers a seamless setting for a hybrid conference. With state-of-the-art AV facilities and industry-standard HD cameras, broadcasting your speakers to virtual attendees is taken care of, guaranteeing a great experience for both audiences. Just keep the attached courtyard hidden on screen or the balance might tip slightly in the favour of in-person attendees!
Capacity: 280 theatre style
2. The Marlborough Theatre
A smaller theatre, but retaining all of the high-spec AV capacities of Burdett, this space proves that good things come in small, well-equipped packages. Featuring an HD projector and screen, and a state-of-the-art sound system, sessions in this bright, comfortable space are guaranteed to engage audiences.
Capacity: 80 theatre style
3. The Marlborough Suite
Need additional space for breakouts or networking? Book the Marlborough Suite, a self-contained section of the building, comprising 4 intimate breakout spaces, a generous foyer, and the Marlborough Theatre itself. Ideal for all-day events, catering can be arranged for lunch and drinks in the foyer, and the versatility of the suite's spaces means you can stick to social distancing measures whatever the programme.
Capacity: 80 theatre style and in breakouts
4. The Edwards Room
For a more intimate event, the red-carpeted Edwards Room provides an ambient backdrop for an engaging conference. With natural lighting and an airy, modern feel, its inviting aesthetic conceals much of the behind-the-scenes tech, including a projector, PA system, and adjustable lighting.
Capacity: 100 theatre style; 64 cabaret
5. The Orangery and Courtyard
It's one thing to be the classiest conference venue around, but by adding a stunning courtyard space, 11 Cavendish Square really cements its reputation as the whole package for memorable conferences. This bright and airy covered space is ideal for entertaining delegates between sessions, and encouraging networking with a glass of fizz or two in the sun. While the venue is one of the best around for hosting hybrid conferences, we don't recommend rubbing this space in the face of virtual attendees!
Capacity: 280 standing
If the combination of versatility and style that 11 Cavendish Square offers has captured your attention, we're sure it will do the same for your conference attendees.
