Rooms that seat 20 to 250
Various rooms hold anywhere from seminar-sized groups of 20 up to 250 seated, and a standing reception reaches 500.

Major transport links and excellent public transport put the campus within easy reach, which helps delegates heading for a Manchester conference arrive without a long trek across town.
Exhibitions, networking and more
Innovative, flexible spaces take exhibitions and networking events as readily as formal sessions. A reception for 500 gives a trade show or a drinks evening room to breathe, and anyone searching for event space across Manchester will find the numbers stack up.
Technology, service and hospitality
Modern technology, accessible buildings and professional event organisers sit behind every booking. First class facilities and strong hospitality mean a conference built around good technology runs smoothly, and the university setting adds a campus feel that suits academic gatherings too.
