Innovation and major developments in cities across the north west has lead to a rising number of conferences being held in the area. But what does the area have to offer and why are institutions like the government starting to hold conferences here? What do these cities have that is starting to make them a much more attractive prospect than london?
Reduced Costs
London and other southern cities are nuturiously expensive which means holding a conference can put a huge dent in a companies budget. Manchester, Leeds and other leading north west cities are considerably cheaper because cost of accommodation and living is much lower.
Large organisations often hold single annual conferences because of the costs involved but holding them in cheaper locations might enable them to hold several each year. These conferences are often key to large businesses so creating opportunities for more conferences is vital.
Transport
Developments in transport networks and especially in the rail industry has meant that Manchester and other north west based cities are more easily accessible. Train journeys have almost been halfed and trains run regularly from London to Manchester. Fares have also dropped.
Several key cities in the area have international airports which means conference delicates can also fly directly into the conference locations. These airports support most major airlines and offer extremely competitive fares.
Locations
The north west is home to a number of exciting locations which makes it ideal for conferences. Why not hold your conference on a golf resort or in Blackpool or even at the heart of cosmopolitan Manchester. The choices are endless.
North West England is also famous for its outdoor activities and the countryside. Companies could chose to combine a conference with a team building event in the area. If the conference is being held for several days you want your delicates to be able to have fun while in the area. Cities in this region can offer this.
These are some of the reasons as to why the north west is such an ideal place for your companies conference. At Venture hotels we have a number of hotel conference rooms and venues including Manchester conference venues and Liverpool conference venues. Why not enjoy the north today.
