 July is Conference Centres of Excellence month on www.myvenues.co.uk. CCE is the UK’s largest consortium of specialist conference, meeting and training venues, with more than 3600 bedrooms under management across its 37 members.
CCE is unique because, as is not the case with other venue associations, its members represent a specific type of provision: dedicated providers which, in terms of facilities, staff and overall support, are wholly focused on optimising the meetings process.
All its venues offer the highest standards of facilities and service – they have to, because otherwise they wouldn’t have been accepted into the group. But that top quality doesn’t mean that they’re expensive: in fact, all members are equally committed to providing genuinely all-inclusive, cost-effective meetings packages.
 'We believe we’re perfectly placed to help organisers to show that they’re not wasting a penny in the search for effective locations,' says Executive Director Anthony Lishman.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be looking at CCE in detail; its member venues and how they work together to lead the field; examples of their commitment and achievement; and how the consortium is providing a particularly effective response to the challenges facing today’s conference, training and meetings sectors.
We’ll also be looking at the special help its Hotline venue-finding service provides for hard pressed organisers. It’s fast, personal and completely free, a convenient and highly responsive way in to the group, not only for information, but across the whole process of obtaining quotations, organising visits and agreeing contracts.
