What you need from conference venues in Milton Keynes

When scouting for conference rooms in Milton Keynes, there are key features you can’t overlook. These are make-or-break elements that ensure your event runs smoothly.

Size matters

First things first, make sure the venue can comfortably fit your expected number of attendees. Flexible room layouts are a huge plus, letting you tailor the space to your needs.

Unity Place has venues for both large-scale conferences and more intimate gatherings. Whether it’s our spacious auditorium for 300 people, or one of our many cosy Event Spaces, some of which have space for 150 people, we've got you covered. There's even connections to all spaces together for exclusive hire of the whole Event Centre for one client or as separate meeting spaces with individual dedicated entrances depending on what you need.

Tech talks

When it comes to conference facilities in your Milton Keynes venue, top-tier AV equipment, reliable internet and solid tech support should be standard. After all, if you’ve created a 4K-quality presentation to deliver and the venue only has an old CRT TV to display it on, your efforts will be wasted. Always check the tech specs and support available before booking.

At Unity Place, we’ve got cutting-edge technology and on-hand support to keep your event glitch-free. Our state of the art equipment packages come with large high definition screens, full audio visual with defined surround sound with additional capabilities for broadcasting, recording, live discussions in real time, vote in polls and hybrid solutions to actively engage the audience for dynamic events.

Easy access

Accessibility is key. A venue that’s hard to reach will frustrate attendees and might even cause dropouts. Milton Keynes is great because it’s well connected by train and bus. Unity Place, right next to the train station, offers plenty of greener travel options. No need to worry about lengthy drives or complicated routes.
