Conferences-UK Unveils Slick New Website

The revamped site is clearly mapped out with simple navigation providing visitors with seamless access to over 10,000 UK conference venues and an impressive 12,500 international venues. Offering speed and efficiency, visitors can simply type in the name of the venue they are looking for, which will return instant results. Alternatively, in four easy steps, conference bookers can select their preferred number of delegates, the type of venue, favoured conference layout and ideal location. Thanks to an advanced venue search algorithm, the returned results will be based entirely on the user's search criteria and listed in order of suitability. This extremely useful ranking system considers several factors, including services, facilities, bookings, client feedback, as well as the professional ratings of Conferences-UK.org.uk's own expert team. Mirroring the efficiency of Google, a predictive search feature has also been incorporated to save conference bookers valuable time. Users simply start typing their city of choice and suggested cities are offered based on the letters typed, along with a list of all venues within that location. Making it even easier to choose between venues, a convenient new Compare Venue' tab allows users to create a quick list of their preferred venues. Visitors can refer to their saved list at any time and compare the full facilities of their top four venues to help them select the perfect location. Eliminating the need to re-search for preferred venues, both account and non-account holders can save previously searched venues saving time on a return visit to the website. Giving customers a greater insight to the venues' facilities, hundreds of promotional videos have been added to the new-look site. The videos provide conference bookers with a walk through of the venues, whilst a venue representative provides an overview of the available facilities and discusses the various meetings, conferences and events that have been held at their location previously. These highly useful videos allow venue bookers to see first hand what to expect without having to take time out of their busy schedules for a reconnaissance. Simon Thompson, MD of ConferencesGroup, comments: We are extremely proud of the revamped Conferences-UK.org.uk website. Not only is it much cleaner and easier to navigate but the introduction of advanced search facilities teamed with the ability to compare venues and refer to saved venues at any time, makes the hunt for the perfect venue effortless. We continuously strive to provide customers with a second-to-none venue finding service.

We are committed to saving our customers time and money by delivering an advanced and unrivalled venue finding service. The new services and facilities have been carefully planned with a team of top developers to refresh the Conferences-UK.org.uk website and bring it in line with the group identity set by ConferencesGroup. In continued support of its customers, fantastic venue offers are communicated more effectively thanks to a new subscriber email function.
