The event space is fantastic and the staff are dedicated, extremely helpful, professional, and go above and beyond to make the day go smoothly and successfully. I organised this event with them from Australia and they made my job so much easier by ensuring meetings worked with the time differences, and were incredibly responsive to any and all (and I mean all, there were a lot) requests and clarifications and changes. Huge thank you to Konstantinos and Carly. Konstantinos was super helpful and adaptable, and Carly was a very much needed tech expert for our team. Thank you Conway Hall.

I cannot thank the team at Conway Hall enough. From booking to event support to catering support to AV - one of the best I've ever worked with. A professional, polite, brilliant bunch. This will be my go-to conference venue from now on. They did everything they could to make the whole event management process a smooth and relatively stress-free one. I cannot recommend them enough. London is full of great venues but not many have a team like this one. Anyone who has organised venues knows how a poor event team can add to your stress levels. The team at Conway Hall didn't just take stress away, they had a positive impact on my event. A special shout out to Ola, Carly, Kon and Dario. Thank you all so so much! Many thanks, elizabeth
