Who are we?
We are the University’s Conference and Events team, dealing with external commercial hire of our facilities. We run conferences and events across the campus, as well as commercial hire of our halls of residence during the summer months.
Why hold your event with us?
We love working with our alumni and want to make hiring space at the University as easy and beneficial to you as possible. As alumni, you are entitled to:
- 10% off all our advertised day delegate rates
- 10% off all our room hire rates
- 10% off all our residential rates for group bookings
If you bring a conference or event to the University, we also want to make sure we add as much value to it as we possibly can. This could include:
- Putting you in touch with industry experts from our academic staff who may be able to speak at or add their expertise to your conference or event.
- Give you access to additional specialist spaces to compliment your conference programme.
- Work with you to showcase our sustainability and CSR links and help you make the most of these at your event.
- Work with our colleagues at MetMunch to introduce workshops on nutrition, sustainable food and brain food to your event adding value for delegates and educating them at the same time!
- Work with MMU Sport to add a sporting element to your event, from a campus walk to neon badminton!
- Help you secure preferential rates for your conference or event with us at local hotels.
