Assessments
Each assessment asks whether one venue suits one kind of business event, such as a Westminster conference or a congress with an exhibition, and states whether it rests on a visit or on the venue's own published information. None carries a score.
Liverpool Experience Campus for a conference that needs the whole site
Desk-based assessment: the Labour Party Conference shows the waterfront campus can run as one connected event. Most organisers will book part of it, which raises different questions.
ICC Wales Main Hall for a conference with an exhibition
Desk-based assessment: the published hall specification and a recent world congress support a serious shortlist, but layout, acoustics and whole-event flow still need testing.
The QEII Centre for a Westminster business event
Desk-based assessment: a central location, a self-contained large-event floor and a wide range of room sizes are useful starting points, not a complete conference plan.
