As Church House Conference Centre launches its new menus, its General Manager
has reminded event organisers to think outside the box rather than accept the norm.
Fairtrade and ethical sourcing are one of the main focuses of Church Houses new
menus, which have been developed with its newly appointed catering partner Harbour &
Jones Events, with a particular emphasis on supporting UK local producers.
As a venue which caters for a wide variety of events, Church Houses new menus also reflect
this versatility and offer a wide range of options, from a healthy working lunch to fine dining menus and everywhere in between,
including the increasingly popular afternoon tea menu.
Patrick Harbour, Director of Harbour & Jones Events, comments Im delighted with the new menus at Church House Conference
Centre. Our teams have collaborated to produce a fantastic offering that places seasonality and sustainability at the heart of the
menu, while also presenting an incredibly flexible and creative range of options.
Robin Parker, General Manager at Church House Conference Centre comments: Food has become a crucial part of every event,
and can make or break a clients day. It is therefore important that we keep up with current trends both in food and service style.
The question of food miles, seasonal food and fair trade products are all up there as priorities for clients striving to achieve more
sustainable events. Working closely with Harbour & Jones Events, we have done everything we can to address these issues.
Robin adds: As more and more clients are extending their day into an evening of networking, we have introduced a number of
interesting drinks and snacks packages to cater for this. However, this is only part of the story. Unlike a restaurant, food for an
event is ordered well in advance, which means the actual choice is unlimited. With enough notice, our trained chefs have the
ability to produce virtually anything a client could request. They can organise a tasting with the clients before the event and have
the luxury of the time to refine any dishes if required. Our priority always remains to provide the best service for our clients;
therefore we want to ensure that they never feel limited by the menu presented to them. So dont hesitate to think outside the box,
the world really is your oyster.
Church House Conference Centre is situated in the heart of Westminster and is one of Londons most versatile event venues,
accommodating between 2 and 664 guests. The 19 event spaces are supported by a team who are recognised for their
commitment to service excellence throughout all areas of events.

Home News Venues & Events The Big Fortified Tasting returns to Church House Conference Centre
Category: Venues & Events Created on Thursday, 07 May 2015 16:45
The largest fair in the world dedicated to fortified wine returned to Church House Conference Centre this week.
The Big Fortified Tasting attracted 50 of the most renowned producers making the line up as spectacular as ever. Open to bona fide members of the wine
trade, the event attracted visitors from the UK and overseas.
It is the 2nd consecutive year that the event has been staged at Church House Conference Centre and featured a range of masterclasses tutored by industry specialists
including the President of the Sherry Institute and President of the Port Wine Institute, as well as renowned winemakers. Guests were also able to discover rare Madeiras,
and fortified wine vintages dating back to the early part of the 20th century.
Danny Cameron, Managing Director of The Big Fortified Tasting, said: We have been holding our event at Church House for the second year now, and once again the
event attracted a large number of wine connoisseurs. I was particularly impressed with Church House team and received many compliments from visitors on how the layout of
the Assembly Hall allowed them move around these wonderful wines with greater ease.
Church House Conference Centre General Manager Robin Parker comments: Fortified wines are very often given cursory attention in traditional tastings. The Big Fortified
Tasting provides an amazing opportunity to put some of the great classics in the spotlight. We were delighted to welcome back an event which is clearly becoming a
must-attend in the wine calendar.

Home News Venues & Events SITE GB hosts industry debate at Church House Conference Centre
Category: Venues & Events Created on Wednesday, 20 May 2015 12:15
Incentive travel professionals gathered at Church House Conference Centre this week (Tuesday, May 12) to discuss the changing face of incentive travel and
reward programmes.
The SITE GB panel discussion at the Westminster venue looked at the growth of incentive programmes, how they can be integrated into communications
strategies, and how such programmes can deliver on objectives whilst giving participants the experience of a lifetime.
The evening was chaired by CAT Publications managing editor Martin Lewis. Panellists included Barbara Jamison (head of business development, London & Partners),
Chetan Shah (head of operations, Black Tomato), Rebecca Duncan (partnership development manager MICE & groups, Virgin Atlantic Airways) and creative events and
experiential consultant Richard Foulkes.
Barbara Jamison, Head of Business Development Europe at London & Partners commented: Site GB Chapter were delighted with their evening panel discussion and
networking event at Church House. The team at Church House always deliver events of the highest level and the proof was that everyone was enjoying the animated
networking, atmosphere and delicious food well into the evening.
Robin Parker, General Manager at Church House, comments: It was fantastic to see so many people turn out for such an important debate. When discussing industry
issues it is important to get the views of as many professionals as possible as it allows a collective view to be formulated for the good of everybody involved. It also provides an
opportunity for best practice ideas to be shared amongst the participants. For Church House it was a chance to showcase our venue to a captive audience so they can see
for themselves what we can offer organisations hosting incentive trips and business meetings in central London.
Church House Conference Centre is situated in the heart of Westminster and is one of Londons most versatile event venues, accommodating between 2 and 664 guests. The
19 event spaces are supported by a team who are recognised for their commitment to service excellence throughout all areas of events.

IMEX buyers breakfast as Westminster venues come together
Published on : Wednesday, May 20, 2015
The QEII Centre, Church House Conference Centre, London &
Partners and Kuoni Destination Management welcomed hosted
buyers to the London stand for the launch of a video showcasing
the ease with which organisers can use the two venues together
for a single event. In particular, the video and subsequent
presentation highlighted the venues proximity to each other as
well as their relative distance from landmarks such as The
Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and The London Eye.
London is at its most appealing and flexible when venues come
together to organise unique events that make the most of the
citys infrastructure. Initiatives such as this partnership between
Church House Conference Centre and the QEII Centre make the city easy to navigate and create an almost
campus like feel to what is one on the worlds most dynamic cities, said Barbara Jamison, Head of Business
Development Europe, London & Partners. IMEX is the ideal platform to showcase the United Kingdoms capital
to an international audience and we were delighted to welcome a wide variety of hosted buyers to the stand this
morning.
Sue Etherington, Head of International Sales, QEII Centre, commented: Following on from our significant
refurbishment last year, we are continually looking for new ways for organisers to make the most of London and
the QEII Centre. Working with other venues, such as Church House Conference Centre, we are creating a
destination in the heart of London that is ideal for all types of events, particularly the corporate and association
markets.
Organisers are continually looking for new options that set a destination apart. Working together our venues
offer not just more space, they offer flexibility and choice. Church House and the QEII Centre not only
compliment each other, they offer a wide range of different styles that are suitable to any type of event. Both
venues offer exceptional catering, audio visual facilities and a focus on customer service, making this the ideal
partnership. commented Robin Parker, Church House Conference Centres General Manager
Keiran Dennis, General Manager of Kuoni Destination Management said: Westminster offers far more
possibilities than most organisers realise. The very short walk between Church House Conference Centre and the
QEII Centre takes in some of Londons best known sites. From the grandeur of Westminster Abbey to the peace
and quiet of Deans Yard, delegates can move easily between the venues whether it be for lunches, dinners of
even separate conference sessions.

TECHNOLOGY UPDATE
If the tech fi ts, wear it Sarah Baldock, CEO of be-good
events, embraces wearable
technology for events
The recent launch of AppleWatch
created a media frenzy, ranging
from classic fanboy adoration to
outright rage at the price (starting
at a mere 299).
With news that Tag Heuer will
be launching an Android watch in
time for Christmas, brand
partnerships are likely to be
gaining momentum.
In all the furore, its easy to
forget that wearable technology is
not just about watches. From
sleeping bags to bras, skirts to
sunglasses, the Internet of Things
is no longer the domain of tech
mavens, its mainstream.
So, picture a scene where you
have upwards of 1,000 people, all
young and thirsty for knowledge,
in a space together. They are
talking, listening, learning.
Imagine putting a device on each,
allowing them to continue their
engagement while they stand in
the coffee queue, network, take a
picture just by lifting their wrist, or
record a discussion by activating
a button on their shirt. The
possibilities are endless and we
need to be ready.
How does this affect the event
production industry?
For some, this may be perceived
as a threat. After all why should
anyone pay to turn up to an event
when they can get all the content
they want through an online
forum on their watch? It is not a
new problem; smart phones have
already posed this dilemma. Yet,
people continued to embrace live
events with more enthusiasm
than ever and our industry is still
developing a role for smart phone
technology to further
engagement.
This year at International
Confex an entire fl oor was
dedicated to technology and
many stands exhibited wearable
tech, all promising new and
exciting ways to involve your
audience before, during and after
the main conference agenda.
I joined a panel of speakers to
explore how to reach millennials
with our events; there was
unanimous consent among fellow
panelists Rosa Garriga from
myQAA, Juraj Holub from sli.do
and Live Group chief executive
Toby Lewis that, far from
detracting, technology can
enhance the way in which
audiences engage with events, if
used effectively.
Values play a vital role in
delivering content and how it is
received by this generation. Tech
and social media offer further
channels away from the main
stage and the website to convey
both content and values. This
audience will embrace new
technology. They are prepared to
spend money on it and use it
wherever there is the opportunity;
so including a wearables strategy
in event planning is the smart
thing to do.
Technology vs real life
Young people are engaging in the
virtual and analogue spaces to an
equal degree. Tech channels and
the physical medium need not be
mutually exclusive. We must use
face-to-face experiences
alongside technology, to enhance
and continue the conversation
long after the venue doors have
closed.
Simplicity wins
At be-good we produce shared,
creative moments within the
conference format - anything from
open debate to gaming, cooking,
fi lm making or meditation
workshops, to spark engagement
and bond disparate groups of
people. Our participants respond
to the opportunity to get stuck in
to the action, learn and
contribute. The energy and
enthusiasm with which they
respond to content lives on in the
tech space, sparking further
ideas, sharing inspiration and
developing the business message
long after the moment of
communal engagement. This
strategy works. We have a 100%
satisfaction rating from our
Stream Digital events.
Central Hall Westminster in
London has appointed White
Light as its production
service partner, effective 1
July 2015. White Light will
keep three members of staff
on-site full-time.
Last year the company
delivered lighting, rigging
and power for the NATO
Summit Wales, covering
meeting rooms and dinners.
Central Hall MD Paul
Southern said new
equipment being installed
under the deal would reduce
cost and improve quality.
Google, Blackberry and
Unilever were among the
brands speaking at Mobile
Convention London at
Church House Conference
Centre recently. The
one-day event on mobile
engagement strategies was
held in London for the fi rst
time. Previous conventions
were held in Amsterdam
and Brussels.
As well as meeting
sessions, there was a high
tech playground, based in
the Assembly Hall.
Convention founder
Hodny Benazzi, said the
event would return in 2016
at Church House, as an
even bigger brand. While
Church House GM Robin
Parker said: Im sure we
will see some of the
gadgets on display
integrated into more
meetings and events held
here in the near future.

Hosted buyers joined key London venues for breakfast at IMEX today to see how events can seamlessly come together in the heart of Westminster.
The QEII Centre, Church House Conference Centre, London & Partners and Kuoni Destination Management welcomed hosted buyers to the London stand for
the launch of a video showcasing the ease with which organisers can use the two venues together for a single event. In particular, the video and subsequent
presentation highlighted the venues proximity to each other as well as their relative distance from landmarks such as The Houses of Parliament, Westminster
Abbey and The London Eye.
London is at its most appealing and flexible when venues come together to organise unique events that make the most of the citys infrastructure. Initiatives such as this
partnership between Church House Conference Centre and the QEII Centre make the city easy to navigate and create an almost campus like feel to what is one on the
world's most dynamic cities, said Barbara Jamison, Head of Business Development Europe, London & Partners. IMEX is the ideal platform to showcase the United
Kingdoms capital to an international audience and we were delighted to welcome a wide variety of hosted buyers to the stand this morning.
Sue Etherington, Head of International Sales, QEII Centre, commented: Following on from our significant refurbishment last year, we are continually looking for new ways
for organisers to make the most of London and the QEII Centre. Working with other venues, such as Church House Conference Centre, we are creating a destination in the
heart of London that is ideal for all types of events, particularly the corporate and association markets.
Organisers are continually looking for new options that set a destination apart. Working together our venues offer not just more space, they offer flexibility and choice.
Church House and the QEII Centre not only compliment each other, they offer a wide range of different styles that are suitable to any type of event. Both venues offer
exceptional catering, audio visual facilities and a focus on customer service, making this the ideal partnership. commented Robin Parker, Church House Conference
Centres General Manager
Keiran Dennis, General Manager of Kuoni Destination Management said: Westminster offers far more possibilities than most organisers realise. The very short walk
between Church House Conference Centre and the QEII Centre takes in some of Londons best known sites. From the grandeur of Westminster Abbey to the peace and
quiet of Deans Yard, delegates can move easily between the venues whether it be for lunches, dinners of even separate conference sessions.

Category: IMEX Preview Created on Tuesday, 19 May 2015 11:10
London & Partners, the official convention bureau for London, has more pre-booked appointments than any other city stand at IMEX Frankfurt ahead of this
weeks exhibition. London is also on course for a record year for appointments, with 650 meetings already booked with stand partners and convention bureau
representatives, up by 32% since 2011.
London is expected to break more records later this week when the 2014 full year international visitor figures from the Office of National Statistics are released on
Wednesday. The city is on track to top the high of 2013, which saw 16.8 million international visitors to London.
Barbara Jamison, Head of Business Development Europe for London & Partners, says: We are delighted to have the most popular city stand at IMEX Frankfurt this year.
London is booming and its a real honour to be able to share a selection of the citys best venues, hotels and incentive travel options with event professionals from around the
world at this years exhibition. Though we are the busiest city stand at the show, we are very much open for business and have many more appointments available for buyers
keen to discuss bringing their event to London.
London & Partners is attending IMEX Frankfurt alongside 27 stand partners from hotels and venues across the city.
Leading hotel group, Radisson Blu Edwardian, London part of Edwardian Group London will join London & Partners on the stand. Debbie Ives, Account Director, MICE from
Edwardian Group London, adds: Our team has a number of important meetings taking place during IMEX Frankfurt that could potentially bring in significant levels of new
business. The business tourism market is an increasingly important sector for us and events such as IMEX Frankfurt are a crucial part of our promotional calendar and
important forums for connecting with meeting buyers from around the world.
London's International Convention Centre, ExCeL London, will also be exhibiting on the London & Partners stand. James Rees, Executive Director at ExCeL London, says:
2015 will be the biggest ever year for conferences at ExCeL. We are hosting more ICCA rated events than ever before, including this summers European Society of
Cardiology which is bringing 35,000 delegates to London. We are now celebrating our 15th anniversary and year-on-year we are hosting record numbers of events. Our
meetings calendar for IMEX Frankfurt includes some key associations and large congresses and we are confident that we will secure vital new business wins from this weeks
event.
Stand partner Robin Parker, General Manager at Londons Church House Conference Centre, adds: This is our second visit to IMEX Frankfurt following the success of
2014, which was in great part due to exhibiting with London & Partners. We are delighted to contribute to the promotion of London as a fantastic destination and are looking
forward to this years show.
London & Partners can be found at stand F400 at IMEX Frankfurt.
