“Conference and exhibition spaces designed to work seamlessly”

8 October 2026
It was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, clients, and industry friends in the wonderful setting of the East Midlands Conference Centre. congratulations to you and the team. Having been on site earlier in the week for a client event, I know just how much hard work goes into delivering something of this scale. It was a wonderful showcase of Nottingham Venues and I’m already looking forward to working with you next summer on a conference.
