BDC London
The Royal Agricultural Hall now BDC London was originally built to house the growing Smithfield Club Cattle Show. Over 160 years later, the iconic venue based in the heart of London now plays host to a range of conferences and exhibitions for an array of industries, including tech, marketing, sustainability and food and beverage, to name a few. Returning from the disruptions of covid, BDC London has had a busy year with a full calendar of conferences, supported by our onsite team of event professionals.

Retention of this team has seen Max surpass twenty years at the venue, Charlotte over seven since she returned from a placement in the same office herself, and both Sam and Elena also did their university placements here, returning post-graduation.
De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms – Conference & Banqueting Team
Standing on Great Queen Street, which connects Covent Garden with Holborn in the West End of London, is the Grade II* listed De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms. With a history dating back to 1775, the building has long been an important event venue, and was once home to the original Freemasons’ Tavern before becoming a hotel in 1909. Since then, the venue has hosted some of the world‘s leading politicians, royalty and celebrities with its grand Georgian architecture and art-deco interiors offering 37 exceptional spaces for a wide range of conferences, exhibitions, meetings, training and weddings.
Glaziers Hall
With seven unique spaces, each with its own charm, the venue offers so much choice for customers. With that comes a challenge: finding the right room or combination of spaces for each event.
Calling upon experience, the team are on hand to provide recommendations based on previous functions and an unrivalled understanding of the venue, its capacity and flow.
As an example, when less than 48-hours before a national press conference to announce a high profile boxing event, to be syndicated with news outlets around the world, the team developed a plan that would provide changing rooms, private interview space, press red carpet and theatre style conference space for media questions and official photographs.
A walk through was arranged for both contenders and their teams ahead of the event and the stage was set. Security was essential, with confirmed attendance only and no public spectators or unofficial guests permitted. The event was a resounding success, resulting in the Hall being recognized as a perfect venue for press events.
Although this wouldn’t be the obvious use for an historic Livery venue, it’s the attention to detail and professional insight of the team that makes Glaziers Hall so appealing to clients.
Hilton London Bankside
Hilton London Bankside’s experienced and dynamic team has achieved a lot in the last year, not to mention the staging and execution of an event for 550 people in the space of less than 24 hours. A feat not possible without the passion and dedication of a team committed to the success of both client and business. The team, without hesitation, rose to the challenge and the event, that was worth £80,000 was a complete success, with the client immediately rebooking for 2023.
The organiser David Tremmil from InLoco Events Ltd had this to say ‘A move of this magnitude could only be achieved through teamwork. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the following people – Lisbeth Gernow, Raoul De Souza, Stephen Atkinson and James Clarke. I couldn’t have worked with a better group of industry professionals.’
Lord’s Cricket Ground – Events & Experiences
Lord’s Events & Experiences constantly strive to provide the best client experience possible. Whilst themes of contemporary and traditional are synonymous with Lord’s and this is well emphasised by the juxtaposing Victorian Grade II*-listed Pavilion and award-winning J.P.
