Over 750 delegates from 38 different countries met at Manchester Central in September for the 15th International Congress of the Society for Melanoma Research (SMR), an event worth over £2m in economic value to the city.
When thinking about the events held in our Central Hall most people would think of conferences and exhibitions and we have held some fantastic ones over the years from Political Party Conferences to the Northern Restaurant and Bar Show.
An auditorium is traditionally seen as a corporate, business-centric space used for conferences… and although our 800-seat Exchange Auditorium is often used for this purpose, it has also acted as the backdrop to a number of other exciting events over the years.
Exchange Hall is a versatile ‘blank canvas’ that can be used for everything from exhibitions and conference seating to large-scale banqueting and sporting events.
The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) is the UK’s trade association for insurance brokers. The annual event brings together the largest insurance broking community in-person for two days of networking, insights, and visionary speakers.
The 2016 AGM marked a pivotal point in our history as we launched our commitment to going ‘Back to Being Co-Op’ and so we chose to host our event in Manchester Central’s iconic Central Hall due to the significant wow factor of the space.
We added to our recent award wins by being crowned "Best Conference Venue'; (over 1,300 theatre style) at the 2018 Conference Awards.
We recently unveiled our new state-of-the-art kitchen; allowing the venue to cater for more guests, explore innovative menu ideas and provide their visitors with a culinary experience like no other.
We've launched our brand new podcast channel ‘Central Chat’.
The podcast brings together experts from across the industry and further afield to discuss hot topics and trends in the world of events.
Last year, we launched a new 360o virtual tour of the venue, allowing clients to fully immerse themselves within the iconic venue and support them in the planning process.
