Conference Centres Letting & Operating in the UK
Over the five years through 2023-24, revenue is projected to contract at a compound annual rate of 2.8% to £778.5 million. This contraction was mostly driven by COVID-19 disruptions causing revenue to plummet, which conference centres are yet to fully bounce back from. The EU referendum drove volatility in business markets, with many companies holding off on spending while market conditions were uncertain. However, conference centres continued to attract bookings; they drew in demand by investing in improving venues (renovating spaces, introducing new technologies, etc.). At the same time, the government was promoting the UK's reputation for hosting quality events to try to bring foreign businesses across the border.
