The British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) is the UK’s trade association for insurance brokers. The annual event brings together the largest insurance broking community in-person for two days of networking, insights, and visionary speakers.

The 2016 AGM marked a pivotal point in our history as we launched our commitment to going ‘Back to Being Co-Op’ and so we chose to host our event in Manchester Central’s iconic Central Hall due to the significant wow factor of the space.

The annual Travel Counsellors Conference returned to Manchester in 2024 to celebrate their 30th year with a weekend of networking, conference sessions, and awards. 

We added to our recent award wins by being crowned "Best Conference Venue'; (over 1,300 theatre style) at the 2018 Conference Awards.

The two-day event aimed to bring together key partners and stakeholders in public health through inspiring keynotes, insightful discussions and networking. 

We recently unveiled our new state-of-the-art kitchen; allowing the  venue to cater for more guests, explore innovative menu ideas and provide their visitors with a culinary experience like no other.

We've launched our brand new podcast channel ‘Central Chat’.

The podcast brings together experts from across the industry and further afield to discuss hot topics and trends in the world of events.

Last year, we launched a new 360^o virtual tour of the venue, allowing clients to fully immerse themselves within the iconic venue and support them in the planning process.
