What if your next London event destination could offer accommodation, event space, entertainment and activities - all within one vibrant area? 

Stratford is coming to The BNC Show to show event professionals exactly what’s possible.

We’re delighted to welcome a group of Stratford venues and partners to The BNC Show on Thursday 29th October at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, working together to showcase what this dynamic part of London can offer corporate event planners.

Rather than presenting a single venue, the Stratford team is taking a bigger-picture approach: demonstrating how the area can work as a complete event destination, with options to build varied itineraries around different group sizes, budgets and event styles.

Discover Stratford

Speaking for the group, who will be on STANDS 101-102 at The BNC Show is Lara Olender, Travel Trade and Corporate Sales Manager at ABBA Voyage. She says: 

“We are very excited to be exhibiting once again at The BNC Show but this time alongside our friends in Stratford to promote what that part of London has to offer."

“We are working together to show how the area can be a one stop shop for events, with plenty of options for accommodation, event space and activities/entertainment to enjoy that can cater to varying group sizes all throughout the year.”

For event professionals, that means the opportunity to look beyond individual venues and consider what an entire destination can offer.

From somewhere to stay and meet, to places to eat, explore and entertain, Stratford has the ingredients to create a complete programme without constantly moving groups across London.

Visitors to the Stratford stands can expect to meet representatives from some of the area's larger venues and discover how they can be brought together to create a complete and varied itinerary.

“You can expect to see at our stand a few of the larger venues in Stratford and discover how you can pull together a complete and varied itinerary in one of London's most vibrant and growing areas,” adds Lara.

That could mean combining accommodation and conference space with entertainment, activities or social experiences - creating an event programme that gives delegates more than simply somewhere to attend a meeting.

Why Stratford?

For event planners looking for flexibility, variety and a destination with plenty happening around it, Stratford offers an alternative to some of London's more traditional event locations.

And with several local venues coming together at The BNC Show, visitors will be able to have those conversations in one place, discovering how different venues and experiences can work together rather than having to piece the destination together themselves.

“We love seeing destinations come to The BNC Show and showcase the bigger picture,” says Nathan Paulden, Director of The BNC. 

“Stratford has so much more to offer than a single venue, and bringing several of its event partners together gives our visitors a chance to discover how they can create a really varied programme in one part of London.”

So if you're looking for accommodation, event space, activities and entertainment and want to explore how they could all fit together make sure Stratford is on your BNC Show itinerary.
