The Barbican is offering an extra incentive to use their meetings and event spaces with complimentary cinema tickets for delegates.

For every Day Delegate Rate booking made through April and May 2015 for events, the Barbican are offering complimentary tickets that can be redeemed in

Barbican cinemas. The tickets, which are valid until the 30th November 2015, are worth £11 each and create an additional opportunity for clients and

delegates to enjoy the unique Barbican offering of industry-leading Business Events within a world-class arts centre.

“We wanted to give something back to our clients and their delegates which offers something a little different to the traditional discount or breakfast upgrade!” comments

Oliver Hargreaves, Deputy Head of Sales at the Barbican. “The Business Events Team is always looking for ways to drive business and what better way than to draw upon

our arts influence? We have already seen great feedback about this incentive and hopefully it will really help to get our clients’ delegates invested in the Barbican and what

we have to offer.”

The Barbican’s three cinema screens offer film-goers an opportunity to watch the best new releases, major themed seasons and the performing arts on screen from National

Theatre Live and Met opera Live in a stylish venue in the heart of London. The cinemas boast state-of-the-art data and video projection supported by the Barbican's in-house

technical team and is the perfect venue for presentations and corporate meetings.

Cinema 1 is also the ideal venue for private film screenings, and can be combined with a dinner or drinks in the Garden Room and Conservatory.

News in Brief 20 April

Yorkshire folk getting into the Christmas spirit

It might only be April but more than 1,000 people have already

booked to go to a Christmas party at Magna Science Adventure

Centre in South Yorkshire.

The Eat Bump Groove party nights are held over eight nights in

December in the Big Hall at the former steel works and feature full

size dodgems and casino tables.

Magna has venue space that can be hired to cater for between 5 and 5,000 people and has hosted

events including business conferences, wedding fayres, concerts and television filming.

The party nights have been attended by about 55,000 people over the last ten years.

Lisa Woolhouse, of Magna, said: 'We get a lot of businesses coming to the Eat Bump Groove

events as their works’ Christmas night out year after year. And it is proving more and more popular

as word gets out about what a unique night out it is.

'We might have only just had Easter, but people in the Yorkshire area obviously like to plan ahead.”

The Eat, Bump and Groove party nights will run on 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th

December.

Tickets are £64.95 per person all-inclusive for all nights, except 17th and 20th December, when

they are £54.95.

Magna, which is near junction 34 of the M1, can also host private Christmas parties.

Templeborough steelworks were built during World War One and shut in 1993. They remained

derelict until being transformed into Magna in 2001.

As well as being a corporate venue, Magna is also an award-winning visitor attraction with more

than 100 hands-on exhibits which explore the four elements of air, water, earth and fire, and it

hosts regular school trips.

Anyone wanting to book a Christmas party should email events@magnatrust.co.uk or contact

01709 223118.

HBAA introduces new code of practiceIndustry association the HBAA has launched

new governance for parties involved in

meeting and accommodation procurement.

A review of the commercial and ethical

protocols between HBAA members resulted

in a new Code of Practice for the association.

The re-evaluation was overseen by Chris

Parnham, past Chair of the HBAA, along with

senior representatives from Hilton Worldwide,

Marriott Hotels & Resorts UK, Capita and

independent booking agents.

The Code of Practice overwrites the HBAA’s

Code of Conduct and has culminated in a

far-reaching template for business

methodology for stakeholders involved in

contracting and implementing

accommodation and meeting contracts.

Revisions to the Code give agents,

accommodation and meeting providers a

template for best practices while providing

corporate clients with quality assurances of

suppliers. Modifi cations include:

• A conclusive defi nition of the fi nancial

liability between supplier, intermediary

agent and corporate or association contract

holder

• Service level commitment between those

involved in the procurement and provision

of accommodation, meetings, conferences

and events and corporate

• Assurance to work in a transparent manner

• Revised terminology to refl ect the changing

face of business travel and live events.

New conference centre for Southampton Solent

The events, meetings and hospitality

mentoring programme for women founded by

Zibrant MD Fay Sharpe received 139

applications to participate by the 27 February

deadline. A panel of mentors then chose 15

candidates, which were announced at a

special launch lunch on 20 March at The Savoy

Hotel, London.

“I was delighted by the number of

applications,” said Sharpe. “It offers a great

depth of talent for the inaugural year, and

refl ects the obvious need for programmes like

Fast Forward 15.

“We were expecting a lot of graduates

applying, but in actual fact we found that there

were far more applications from corporate

event professionals, middle management and

under-26 year olds currently in employment

from all sectors including: agency, corporate,

venues. We even received applications from

some women who have been in the industry

for more than 20 years, which is great.”

The shortlisting process for FF15 threw up

some common themes.

Many women cited a lack of confi dence in

both their skill set and speaking publicly, a lack

of self-belief and personal perception

alongside doubting their own abilities.

Dr Kate Dashper, at the UK Centre for Events

Management at Leeds Beckett University, is

conducting a formal evaluation of Fast Forward

15, to help produce best practice guidelines for

future mentoring programmes. “It’s a really

exciting programme and a great opportunity to

produce robust evidence of the effectiveness

of such a scheme,” she said.

London's Barbican is hoping to cash in on an

increase in international visitors to the City of

London with the completion of Crossrail in

2018. The project will connect Barbican station

and Farringdon directly with Heathrow, as well

as Liverpool Street and Moorgate.

Management hopes Crossrail could open up

business opportunities in the City, including

growing the market for large-scale association

events.

“The prospect of Barbican becoming an even

more internationally accessible venue because

of Crossrail is an exciting one,” says Jackie

Boughton, head of sales at Barbican Business

Events.

“The route will quite literally be on our

doorstep and it is something to take

advantage of,” she adds.

Fast Forward receives 139 applicationsCrossrail opportunity

Southampton Solent University is to get a new

conference and exhibition space at East Park Terrace

as part of a £30m development.

Work is underway on the campus, with a projected

completion date of early 2016.

In addition to two bespoke lecture theatres, an

atrium suitable for large exhibitions, product launches

and gala dinners will form the hub of the new block.

The centrepiece of the new building, designed by

architects Scott Brownrigg, will be a multi-functional

suspended ‘pod’ housing a lecture theatre and

viewing platform above.

The new conference centre will feature two large

fl exible suites comprising four meeting rooms with

breakout hospitality areas overlooking the atrium; a

bookable business centre with reprographic facilities;

plus a new café and VIP dining area.
