The Sustainability team needed a top conference venue that shared their environmentally conscious values and could champion an event for over 150 delegates. Discover how Warwick Conference supported their event goals:

To plan a custom menu

Food is often the difference between failure and success when it comes to event planning and delegate satisfaction. For this conference, the client wanted catering that reflected their core value of sustainability, so we designed a plant-based menu that could refuel delegates whilst reflecting these values and encouraged an RSVP system to minimise waste.

To keep sustainability at the heart

Warwick Conferences is deeply committed to environmental responsibility, and our dedication has been recognised through numerous awards including EcoSmart Platinum status from Greengage Solutions, IACC Green Star Certification, and 2nd place at the miaList Awards 2024 in recognition of our commitment to sustainability. An example of our efforts to reduce, reuse, and recycle is our Radcliffe lounge transformation, which championed upcycling and refurbishment over buying new.

Client feedback

“Environmental sustainability was the theme of our conference, and Warwick Conferences were very supportive in helping us ensure the event reflected those values in practice. We worked together to implement a number of measures to reduce the environmental impact of the event, including providing a meat-free menu and asking attendees to confirm whether they would attend lunch in advance to help minimise food waste."

"We also hosted networking drinks that showcased local suppliers, helping to support the local economy and promote responsible sourcing. The conference was entirely paper-free, and we reused delegate badges from previous events, encouraging attendees to return them at the end of the day so they could be used again.

Warwick Conferences were extremely helpful in supporting the logistics behind these initiatives, ensuring everything ran smoothly and making it easier for us to embed sustainability throughout the event. Their collaborative approach and willingness to accommodate our ideas played an important role in helping us deliver a conference that aligned with our sustainability objectives.”

“Planning the conference with Warwick Conferences was a genuinely positive experience from start to finish. The team were highly organised, proactive, and responsive, helping to make what could have been a complex process feel seamless and manageable. Their expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the planning process.”
