Frequently asked questions

What additional costs should I budget for a 100-person conference?
Budget an extra 10–15% on top of the DDR for supplementary AV equipment (from £200 per mic), upgraded catering (from £10 per head), overtime staff (£25 per staff-hour) and room hire surcharges (10% service charge). Include a £500 contingency for last-minute adjustments.
What is the day delegate rate for 100-person events in South Bank?
In Zone 1 South Bank expect day delegate rates of £55–£75 per head midweek, including meeting room, standard buffet lunch, two refreshment breaks and basic AV. Premium packages with enhanced catering and tech start at £75–£100 per head.
What AV specifications are essential for a 100-person conference?
Ensure a minimum 5,000-lumen HD projector with a 3×4 m screen, dual handheld or lapel wireless mics, a 500-W PA system, 50 Mbps dedicated Wi-Fi and two technician support hours. Confirm HDMI routing, stage lighting and backup power for continuous streaming.
How much deposit do venues in South Bank require for a 100-person event?
Most South Bank venues require a 10–20% deposit of the total estimated spend, payable on contract signing. The balance is usually due 4–6 weeks before the event. Late changes may incur a 5% amendment fee.
What fire safety capacity rules apply to a 100-person conference room?
London fire regulations stipulate 1.2 sqm per person minimum for conferences, so a 120 sqm room holds 100 delegates. Venues must provide two independent escapes, illuminated signage, a pre-event safety briefing and a designated muster point.
Which transport links serve South Bank conference venues best?
Primary access is via Waterloo station (Jubilee, Northern, Bakerloo, Waterloo & City), a 5-minute walk from most venues. Southwark (Jubilee line) and Embankment (Circle, District, Northern, Bakerloo) are within 10 minutes on foot. Thames Clippers river services stop at Bankside Pier.
How many breakout rooms should a 100-attendee conference include?
Plan for at least two breakout rooms—one per 40–50 delegates. Each should be 30–40 sqm to fit 20–25 classroom-style tables. Position them within 20 m of the main hall for swift transitions and allocate 15 minutes between sessions.
What size room do I need for 100 people theatre style?
For a 100-person theatre-style conference allow 1.2–1.5 sqm per delegate, equating to 120–150 sqm of clear floor space. Include a 10 sqm registration area and 20 sqm for AV equipment at the front. Ensure ceiling height of at least 2.7 m to accommodate projection and lighting.
What catering formats suit a 100-person conference in South Bank?
For 100 delegates choose a buffet lunch (2 mains, 3 sides) served over 60 minutes or a plated set menu (3 courses) over 75 minutes. Offer two hot breaks (tea, coffee, pastries) and a working lunch box (£15–£20 per head) for tight schedules.
