ADVERTORIAL: The East Midlands Conference Centre is providing state-of-the-art events facilities for businesses
Following a multi-million pound refurbishment last year, the East Midlands Conference Centre (EMCC) has been offering fantastic meetings and events spaces, as well as banqueting suites for local businesses.
The facility is located on the University of Nottingham’s University Park campus, the site is home to 21 flexible event spaces with intuitive SmartSpace, as well as hybrid and virtual conference solutions with live streaming.
Free, superfast Wi-Fi is available throughout the venue so that online conferencing platforms and business e-mails can be accessed with ease.
And that’s not all.
The venue’s new, huge digital wall and digital signage offer the opportunity for clients to brand their event along with projection mapping on the adjacent De Vere Orchard Hotel.
The Orchard Hotel is set in 330 acres of the University of Nottingham’s landscaped parkland.
Awarded with Best Sustainable Venue at the CHS 2017 and 2019 awards, its contemporary design makes the most of natural daylight and has been built to the highest environmental standards, featuring 202 bedrooms located right next to EMCC.
But the EMCC and The Orchard Hotel’s support for local businesses doesn’t stop there, as the company also decided to sponsor the Not-for-Profit Organization category at the NottinghamshireLive Business Awards this year.

The much-anticipated awards ceremony took place on Thursday, October 14, 2021, at the East Midlands Conference Centre, and you can find out more details about all the winners here.
Commenting on the recent refurbishment, Tom Waldron-Lynch, general manager of East Midlands Conference Centre, said: “We are continually investing in our venues and this refurbishment ensured that EMCC continues to have an industry-leading offer, attracting businesses to the Midlands.
“As well as enhanced event spaces, the work also saw us investing in several facilities as part of our ongoing drive to operate more sustainably, including the installation of new hydration stations throughout the venue, new food and beverage offerings, new breakout spaces, the refurbishing of over 900 banquet chairs and installation of a digital signage package throughout to reduce the need for printing.”

The EMCC was first unveiled in Spring 2020, when the conference centre celebrated its 35th anniversary.
The three-month-long refurbishment brought about an impressive re-modelling of the building’s interior space, which reflects the university’s culture. It also includes artwork by a local Nottingham based artist commissioned in conjunction with the Lakeside Art’s Centre.
Super fast connectivity and a maximum 1GB of Wi-Fi is also available throughout the venue.
