Notas do Editor
- What’s the difference between a venue and an event space? The term event space used more and more now – why? The word venue provides an image of a physical building in which events take place – when really they can take place anywhere, or virtually?? Suggestion… Venue is a physical structure where the event takes place (building), but event space can be broader, i.e. ‘venues’ have multiple event spaces within them, or the event space could be anywhere else within or elsewhere, or virtual. Venue websites will refer to event spaces within them, supporting the above. Venue vs. destination – what’s the difference??
- Fenton Manor Sports Complex Multi-purpose / unusual venue Destination – Stoke-on-Trent
- The NIA Purpose-built venue Destination - Birmingham
- Market Square Event Space Destination - Manchester
- Natural History Museum Unusual Venue Destination - London
- Covent Garden Event Space / Unusual Venue (if categorising) Destination - London
- Vinopolis Purpose-built / Unusual venue Destination - London
- Weston Park Event Space or venue?? Event space because venue isn’t permanent structure? Venue because a series of structures are constructed for the duration of the V Festival? Multiple venues in one location? Destination - Staffordshire
- These suggest that the venue choice should be matched to the theme of the event

- Structures can vary dependent on whether venues are privately owned or are part of a wider group (i.e. finance and business services may be in another department within a larger organisation) Example roles… Operations – Event delivery, cleaning, housekeeping, maintenance, facilities management Finance – Invoicing, debtors, creditors Marketing and communication – Serving the venue itself and events Sales – Account management, event management, enquiry handling Business services – Administration, box office Catering – Event catering, food and beverage outlets
- Sales Enquiry taken and provisional booking made. Enquiry passed over to sales account manager. Sales Account Manager is responsible for confirming your booking contract with you. Sales Account Managers are happy to visit you, show you around the Centre or discuss event details on the phone. Your Account Manager is available for any questions at any point. Event planning Your Account Manager will assign a dedicated event planner to deliver your event. The Event Planning team is your communication point between pre-event discussions and the Operations Team. Every event detail is communicated to the Operations Team on a weekly and twice-daily basis Operational delivery The Operations Team members are experts in their respective fields and will be fully briefed by your Sales Account Manager and Event Planner prior to your event. The Operations Team knows and remembers clients and their preferences. The Centre's staff will be responsive to any questions or requirements you have during your event. The staff will support you to deliver a successful and safe event. May vary between venues depending upon size, nature and type of venue or event. Multiple events in venues – very operational, need to work with organisers on timing to ensure that there is no clash at break times, visitor flow remains right etc. EG, if all events start / finish at same time there would be issues with parking and access.
