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.
Catering counts
Food can make or break an event. Top-quality catering keeps guests happy and engaged. Check if the venue provides catering services or if you’ll need to arrange it yourself. With an indoor street food market and a host of other catering options, Unity Place ensures your attendees are well-fed, enhancing their overall experience.
Dining Experiences are available as part of our multi-space hire event package with accompanying catering is a truly delicious experience with sustainably sourced ingredients. With dynamic and fashionable space that suits fresh, innovative events and receptions in our Urban Food Market, Unity Sky Lounge and Dipna’s Brasserie Bar & Restaurant, there's something for all your attendees.
Atmosphere matters
