Delivering Meaningful Connections: Prestige Events Magazine’s 2020 Networking Club

The Training and Scenario Centre at 30 Euston Square is one of the venue’s most distinctive spaces, offering a level of flexibility rarely found in central London. While it is ideally suited to professional examinations and assessments, it can also be transformed for a wide range of event formats, as demonstrated when Prestige Events Magazine hosted its 2020 Networking Club at the venue.

Bringing together event planners, corporate bookers and industry professionals, the event was designed to inspire meaningful connections, encourage knowledge sharing and showcase innovative approaches to event delivery.

Following a welcome breakfast in the centre’s reception area, delegates took part in a structured speed networking programme within the Training and Scenario Centre. Utilising the centre’s individual meeting rooms, attendees were able to hold private, focused conversations in a fast-paced format, creating an environment that encouraged open discussion, collaboration and new business opportunities.

In the afternoon, guests moved to the Exhibition Hall, where they enjoyed an interactive dining experience featuring live pasta and taco stations. A selection of desserts, including Black Forest éclair, chocolate mousse and Greek-inspired orange cake, provided the perfect afternoon indulgence before networking resumed.

The day concluded in the Auditorium with an insightful presentation from Narmeen Kamran on the growing importance of non-alcoholic beverage offerings within the events industry. Guests then gathered for a drinks reception in the Exhibition Hall, providing a final opportunity to continue conversations and strengthen new connections.

The event highlighted the versatility of 30 Euston Square, demonstrating how multiple event formats can be seamlessly delivered within a single venue. From structured networking and thought leadership content to interactive catering and receptions, the venue provided a cohesive delegate experience while showcasing the breadth of its event spaces.

Dan Bearpark, Director of Prestige Events Guide, says: “Hosting 20/20 Club events at 30 Euston Square is always a pleasure. The team is always on point and the catering by Searcys was once again delicious.

The day went seamlessly; we used the examination rooms for the meetings and separate break out rooms for breakfast, lunch and post event drinks. Moving from one area to another is so easy because the multiple lifts at 30 Euston Square move you across the floors flawlessly.”
