99 City Road – Silicon Roundabout’s modern conference venue and home to communications giant Inmarsat – has secured two safety accreditations amidst continuing preparations to reopen the centre’s doors. As offices begin to refill both in the surrounding Tech City and beyond, the venue’s double pass demonstrates its commitment to the safety and comfort of corporates looking to reunite.
The Meetings Industry Association has awarded 99 City Road with its AIM Secure Standard as ‘an assurance of excellence in business meetings and events’, while the venue has also received the ‘We’re Good to Go’ industry standard which further reassures guests of the venue’s Covid-19 safety processes.
Corporates looking to bring their teams back together can be confident in the safety measures in place at 99 City Road, with social distancing ensured through one-way walking systems, complimentary use of the registration system for track and trace purposes, and PPE for service team members, as well as complimentary face masks, touchless hand sanitisers throughout the venue and individually packed lunches with bottled water.
Clients looking to hold hybrid events combining physical and virtual elements can also do so with full AV and technical support at the venue, with the events team drawing on their years of experience delivering immersive and inclusive events of this nature.
This new chapter in face-to-face comes as Bennett Hay has taken over the contract for Inmarsat at 99 City Road, creating the new delegate experience for the post-Covid era as well as supporting in sales and marketing activities.
Sandra Wilson, Conference Manager from 99 City Road says: “We are so proud to have received this double accreditation, cementing our status as a safe and efficient venue as we enter this new age in our industry. With guest safety top of the agenda, our new delegate experience will be smooth and seamless, and we can’t wait to hit the ground running once again with events.”
Richard Eden, commercial director, Bennett Hay adds: “Crowded spaces are no longer order of the day; what 99 City Road offers is the perfect setting to instill confidence into corporates and bring people together safely once again.”
