London calling
Featured Products Promotional FeaturesPosted by: Dental Design 25th November 2024
The location of any event firmly sets the scene for the kind of experience that attendees can look forward to. If you’re booking onto a relaxing retreat, you want to know that you’re headed for a quiet and beautiful location. Equally, if you’re seeking adventure and excitement, you will instead be searching for adrenaline-fueled activities in the great outdoors.
For the vast majority of people, London offers a combination of the experiences, thrills and opportunities they seek, making it a fantastic place to learn, network and have fun. Indeed, London was recently voted one of the very best cities in the world, second only to New York.[i] The bustling capital of the UK is regarded worldwide as a top destination for work and pleasure. It offers a unique blend of history, culture, architecture, retail and connectivity, placing it at the centre of business and social programmes alike.
A place in time
Wherever you travel for an event, this can be an excellent opportunity to explore a new area, visit a famous landmark or experience a different culture. It also provides a chance to make a weekend of your trip – maybe take the family or a significant other and optimise that work-life balance without sacrificing your professional development or mental wellbeing!
The location is, therefore, an important consideration when deciding which events or training courses to attend. Further than that, thought should be given to the specific venue. Accessibility is crucial – a central location with good transport links and/or easy parking is essential on ensuring a smooth, stress-free journey. You’ll also want to confirm that the venue affords appropriate space and facilities to aid your learning. For example, there should be sufficient screens and auditory systems for safe and well-supported hands-on workshop settings with high-quality products and instruments. It is often the smallest details that have the greatest impact on your overall experience.
Bigging up the Big Smoke
London is the perfect place to blend both business and socialising. The city attracts globally-renowned speakers and educators in all fields, including dentistry. Plus, there is so much to do after an event or course, whether you’re staying for the day, a weekend or even longer.
London ticks all of the boxes. The public transport system is widely regarded as one of the best around the globe, with tubes and trains covering the entire central area, and making toing and froing between event spaces, transport links and places to stay rather simple. Venues typically meet diverse accessibility, creativity, cultural and social needs, with new ideas and businesses constantly emerging to push boundaries and offer ever-more exciting options for visitors. No matter where you are, there are options galore for food, drink and entertainment to suit all tastes and preferences.
Hidden gems of London
If you’re headed into the city for a professional event, why not make the most of your time by planning ahead? London has many exciting and unique experiences to enjoy, with fun for all ages and interests. For those looking to cover the main attractions, combination tickets are available from several vendors that offer cost savings.
