If you're after a new, innovative, and exciting spot that breaks the corporate event mould, allow us to introduce one of our favourite new venues on the scene: Convene, 22 Bishopsgate. Located in London’s bustling financial district, with excellent transport links, stunning views of the City, and in-house AV and catering, it's the perfect venue for business events of all sizes.
We recently ran our own panel discussion and networking event here, and had fantastic feedback from attendees on the venue and the events team! With light, bright spaces and an attentive team, here are just some of the reasons it's the perfect place to bring people together.
You've never seen spaces this flexible!
Convene's interior is true to its name: designed with collaboration in mind it offers beautiful, open-plan communal spaces, and plenty of comfortable nooks for networking. Offering a co-working space alongside beautifully-appointed event spaces, it provides a fantastic base for any event format, from team brainstorming sessions to large conferences - or a bit of both!
The event spaces, such as the Gracechurch Hub, where we hosted our event, are versatile enough to accommodate small groups to large gatherings, thanks to sliding partitions and flexible seating. With the option of hiring either floor of the venue exclusively, you can host up to 406 guests in one space theatre-style, with plenty of space for breakouts in the open and airy galleries surrounding the spaces.
Their in-house AV offering is second-to-none
Convene also offers an array of services to ensure your event goes off without a hitch, with an experienced team on hand to tailor packages and provide support every step of the way. From digital screens to built-in sound and video recording, and hybrid event functionalities, all your technical requirements will be met with state-of-the-art high-spec equipment at this venue.
And with a dedicated team of conference technicians on hand to offer a professional and discreet service throughout the event, your event will run smoothly from start to finish - and we can vouch for them being a helpful, friendly bunch too!

Convene also provides catering and refreshment services for events of every size, with a range of menus to suit all tastes. Whether you’re hosting a corporate breakfast, buffet lunch or an evening reception, their team will ensure your guests are well fed and watered throughout the day.
At our recent event held at Convene, the catering was truly out of this world, with a seasonal offering that included plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, and delicious drinks. Plus, with 'Nourish' stations located throughout the venue, attendees can pick up snacks and drinks throughout the day to stay energised - no more rumbling stomachs interrupting your company updates!
