Considerations When Planning Conferences in Ipswich
Ipswich is a great location for conferences. It has transport links to the A14 and the A12, two train stations and is on main train lines from London and Norwich, is an hour’s drive from Stansted airport and even has a working international port. The town is considered a commutable satellite town of London, so it is therefore a hub for professionals who work in the capital. This ideal location is one of the reasons why more and more events planners are starting to see the advantage of arranging their conferences in Ipswich.
Claydon, just five miles north of the town centre, is just a 20 minute bus journey from Ipswich railway station, and there are excellent public transport links between the two. For planning affordable conferences within easy reach of Ipswich, Norwich and London, there really is no better place than to book your conferences in Ipswich than Claydon.
Venues for conferences Ipswich should be modern, spacious and air-conditioned. Your venue should be suited to your event; whether you are planning a day, half day or overnight event. Hotels have the added attraction of providing on-site accommodation for delegates who are staying overnight. A hotel with a restaurant will make planning your event easier, and will also make the conference more time-efficient as food and refreshments will all be available on-site. Hotels are also often the best choice because they are purpose-built venues with a choice of conference rooms and on-site car parking.
When planning conferences in Ipswich it is useful to choose a venue with a choice of rooms so you can find one best to suit your needs. Whether you need a board-room, classroom or theatre setup, the hotel which you choose should be able to accommodate this. Think about your number of delegates; rooms generally suit groups of 12 in a classroom setting to 150 in a theatre setting. Ensure that you are choosing the right room for the number of attendees which you are expecting.
Another factor to consider for conferences Ipswich is price; a day delegate rate of £29.95 for 15 delegates, for example, is very reasonable. Check what is included within this price, and make enquiries with your venue into equipment if you will require the use of a photocopier, projector and screen, OHP, TV, video, DVD, internet access, or other facilities.
Ensure you are choosing a smart, modern venue with all of the appropriate facilities and give the best impression of your business with your conferences in Ipswich.
