Frequently asked questions

Use a 1:25 ratio for catering (12 staff), 1:50 for registration (6 staff), 1:75 for security (4 staff) and 3–4 techs. Total team ≈25–30 people for seamless operation and quick service.
How many square metres do I need for 300 conference delegates?
Allow 1.5 sqm per theatre-style seat (450 sqm total) plus 30% for aisles and circulation (≈135 sqm), so budget at least 580–600 sqm of clear space. This ensures comfortable sight lines and breakout zones.
How large should the dance floor be for 300 guests?
Plan a 50–70 sqm dance floor. That gives 0.17–0.23 sqm per guest at peak (≈60 dancers), ensuring room to move without bottlenecks. Locate centrally to encourage circulation.

Standard kit includes a 10,000 lm projector, 2× 2.4×1.8 m screens, lapel and handheld mics (min 4 channels), 5 kW PA, lighting rig with DMX control and on-site technician support for setup and live switching.
What fire safety certificate is required for a 300-person venue in London?
You need a valid Fire Risk Assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and a capacity certificate from your local Borough confirming safe egress for 300 people. A premises licence under the Licensing Act 2003 must also specify the maximum occupancy.
What minimum spend should I expect for 300 guests?
Minimum spend often covers food, drink and staffing. At £100–£150 per head, plan for £30,000–£45,000 total. Upgrade to premium menus or open bar might push per head to £175–£200.

For networking breaks and drinks receptions, allocate 0.5–1 sqm per person: 150–300 sqm of terrace or garden. Include covered areas or marquees for changeable weather.
