Conferences and meetings
Academic venues boast high end purpose-built facilities and offer some of the best event spaces in the country. As a supplementary income stream for the University (rather than the primary commercial driver) we can offer exceptional value for money.
Our spaces are purpose-built for learning and development and our campus has masses of flexible large event space. Put that together with one of the fastest Wi-Fi networks (1Gbps) of any conference venue, a dedicated event coordination team and a huge choice of accommodation and you have a perfect venue for large-scale conferences and meetings.

Academic conferences
We’re very proud to have been voted Best UK Academic Venue in The National Venue Awards, Academic Venue Awards and the M&IT Awards.
- º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ is ranked top 10 in all league tables which cements our status as one of the country’s leading higher education institutions

I cannot speak too highly of the service Imago Venues provided. Delegates who had been to all, or some, of the previous conferences agreed that this was outstandingly the best. The credit for this success goes to º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s facilities and infrastructure and Imago’s brilliant management – all world-class.
