Imperial was amongst 12 London academic venues showcasing their event venues and services at the Somerset House Ice Rink on Thursday 14 November.

Showcasing out venues and event services to meeting and event buyers, Imperial took part in the Venuemasters London showcase event on Thursday 14 November at Somerset House.

Venuemasters London is a branch of the national consortium, Venuemasters, which promotes academic venues across the UK. Taking over part of the Easting Wing at Somerset House and hosted by Kings Venues at Kings College London, 71 meeting buyers came along and met representatives from Imperial and 11 other academic venues from around London.

Remarking on this type of collaborative promotion of Lonson academic venues, Kirsten Kruls, our Business Development Executive, said: "The Venuemasters Showcase event at Somerset House and Christmas ambience was clearly enjoyed by all - venues and guests alike. As a relative newcomer to the academic venue environment, it was a real eye-opener to the vast and high standard facilities on offer by universities around London. It's great to know there's a network of event professionals we can work with to spread the word about how good academic venues really are."
