We have also introduced a special Chairmen's Award this year. ABPCO
would like to recognise the proactive approach many of our members are
taking regarding corporate social responsibility. This award will commend an
initiative that demonstrates the most far reaching impact on our industry. It
may be related to a specific event but equally it could be a project that is an
on-going initiative. We want to show case our members’ success stories
about corporate social responsibility in 2014 and 2015 that aim to provide a
long-lasting legacy and to inspire audiences across the association
conference industry. The award will be announced at the Charimen's lunch.
Entrants are limited to those within ABPCO membership. To enter, please
submit a maximum of 1000 words outlining the project, its objectives and the
potential impact on the target audiences. Please send your entry by Friday
25th September to [email protected]
Awards will be judged by an invited panel prior to the event at The Brighton
Centre on the 4th December. The winner will be notified by the 1st
November, and must be available to present a 5 minute presentation at the
awards lunch on the 4th December.
Our joint campaign with CAT publications on The Living Wage is building
momentum - we have scheduled an industry thought leaders discussion on
the 16th October to highlight the pros and cons of the Living Wage for Live
Events to take the discussion further. We would very much like you to let us
know your views on this, so please email or tweet @ABPCO #LivingWage
and we can use your comments within the discussions. Church House in

Category: Arenas and Conference Centres Created on Friday, 18 September 2015 14:00
The rare opportunity to utilise Barbican Theatre, which is currently hosting Lyndsey Turner’s production of ‘Hamlet’ starring Benedict Cumberbatch, has
become available for commercial events to take over the space in Spring 2016.
“It is very rare that an opportunity to use the Theatre for a commercial event comes about,” said Jackie Boughton, Head of Sales at Barbican Business Events.
“Barbican Theatre is always in use for outstanding productions so these dates offer a real chance to create something that will be memorable and fantastic. The Theatre
space is extremely sought after and will give any event a unique feel.”
Barbican Theatre has acoustics that match the needs of international theatre and dance companies and offers the ideal setting in which to host events such as conferences,
AGMs, presentations or award ceremonies. Seating 1,156 people, it is an intimate space with no seat located more than twenty metres from the stage and excellent sight lines
for all delegates attending an event.
A private registration and catering area is also included in the hire of the Theatre. The available dates are 7th-11th March and 11th-16th April 2016.
“We fully expect that the opportunity to hold an event at Barbican Theatre will attract plenty of interest,” added Jackie. “If it’s good enough for the stars of stage and screen
then I am sure it will be perfect for a business looking to achieve something quite special.”

As a buyer or supplier of corporate hospitality, how do you know if you’re breaking the law?
The Bribery Act introduced new guidelines, together with new criminal penalties for non-compliance and its jurisdiction is worldwide. Hospitality to prospective clients now needs to be 'reasonable' and 'proportionate' and the only defence in law is to ensure you have an internal compliance system in place before the hospitality event takes place. Order your online training session of the Bribery Act today or click here to find out more.

Delegates and clients will be given the opportunity to learn about the fascinating history of the Barbican alongside their
event with specialist packages created by the Business Events Team, which include tours of the iconic building.
Opened by The Queen in 1982, who declared it ‘one of the modern wonders of the world’, the building is seen as a landmark in
terms of its scale, cohesion and ambition. Its stunning spaces and unique location at the heart of the Barbican Estate has made it
an internationally recognised venue, set within an urban landscape acknowledged as one of the most significant architectural
achievements of the 20th century.
The tours, which are available throughout the year, cost £11.50 per person and can be fitted in and around events to suit delegate
timetables.
“The tours are very popular and they offer something a little different for event organisers,” comments Oliver Hargreaves,
Barbican’s Deputy Head of Sales. “The Barbican is completely unique, and the story of its fascinating history leaves delegates
with a real sense that they have been a part of something quite special. The tours are a great way to inspire and give delegates
an engaging activity alongside the event that they are attending.”
There are two choices of tours on offer at the Barbican:
• Architecture Tour - A 90-minute walking tour of the Barbican to discover the history behind the building and the surrounding
Barbican Estate, considered one of London’s best examples of Brutalist architecture. From concrete styles to architectural motifs
and insightful facts, the Architecture Tour will leave attendees looking at the Barbican from a fresh perspective.
• Backstage Tour – A 75-minute tour discovering the unseen backstage spaces of the landmark Barbican Theatre. Starting at the
stage door, delegates will wind their way through the dressing room corridors, up the state-of-the-art fly tower, down to the stage
to see the latest production set before ending in the Barbican Conservatory. The Backstage Tour is subject to availability.
