Sheffield International Venues aims to sells its conference offer to Europe

SHEFFIELD’S conference and events offer will be showcased to thousands of delegates at Europe’s leading industry show.

Sheffield International Venues (SIV) Conferencing and Events has once again teamed up with Yorkshire South Tourism to profile the city’s diverse portfolio of facilities at the Confex 2010 exhibition.

City Hall Sheffield, Ponds Forge Sheffield and Don Valley Sheffield are just some of the leading venues that make up the SIV Conferencing & Events brand, which boasts one of the widest choices of event spaces in the UK.

Confex is Europe’s leading event for event organisers and takes place at Earl’s Court, London, from February 23 – 25.

Andy Carnall, SIV’s Golf Manager, will be hosting a special competition of skill to win a VIP trip and will also introduce the concept of night golf to delegates.

Dominic Stokes, General Manager of SIV Conferencing and Events, said “This year’s Confex focuses on venues bursting with inspiration and with more and more conference and corporate event organisers taking advantage of unique environments such as sporting venues and Olympic training grounds, SIV offers the perfect portfolio.

“Experience of hosting large volumes of people, effective delegate management and ample parking at our sports venues are proving attractive to event organisers looking for an alternative to dedicated centres.

“Anything is possible with SIV. We can literally host any type of event and our wide range of spaces allows us to accommodate anything from 2 to 50,000 delegates.

“SIV offers the total event solution from accommodation and transportation to event incentives such as a round of golf or hospitality.

“Confex 2009 was a great success for both SIV Conferencing and Events and Yorkshire South Tourism, with Yorkshire South winning Best UK Destination for the second year running and we look forward to showcasing our unique portfolio once again.”

SIV Conferencing and Events will also profile its portfolio at the Conference and Hospitality Show 2010, the new Northern-based event for venues and suppliers, on March 18 at the Royal Armouries, Leeds.
