What sustainability credentials do Barbican venues typically offer?
Leading Barbican venues hold ISO 20121 certification and implement energy-efficient LED lighting, 100% recyclable disposables and on-site composting. Many purchase renewable energy certificates and offer locally sourced, seasonal catering menus with minimal food miles.

Common packages include continental breakfast (£7–£10pp), two-course buffet lunch (£20–£28pp), afternoon tea (£8–£12pp) and evening canapé receptions (£25–£35pp). Vegan, gluten-free and halal menus are standard. Confirm service ratio of 1 server per 20 guests.

How many breakout rooms should venues for 100 delegates provide?
For 100 attendees, best practice is 2–4 breakout rooms seating 20–30 each, allowing 1 facilitator per 25 delegates. Each room should have screen/projector, flipchart, and high-speed Wi-Fi. This ratio supports parallel workshops and networking zones.
