Avoid these 5 common mistakes to host the perfect conference

Avoid these 5 common mistakes to host the perfect conference

​Are you planning a conference? As one of the leading conference hotels near Heathrow, we understand that organising an event for colleagues can be a challenging task. To help you ensure that everything goes smoothly, we’ve drawn up a list of some of the most common problems and how to avoid them, so that your event will be remembered for all the right reasons.

1. The problem: going over budget
The solution: look for a hotel that offers conference packages

​Overspending on food and drink for your attendees is one of the most common reasons for over expenditure. At the Heston Hyde hotel, we make it easy to keep your finances under control with our Day Delegate packages, from just £39 per head (minimum numbers apply). As well as the hire of a meeting room with unlimited tea and coffee, we offer pastries and hot drinks on arrival and during the mid-morning and afternoon breaks. Delegates can enjoy either a working lunch or lunch in our restaurant. We also provide still or sparkling water, stationery, a flip chart with pens and a bowl of sweets on the table!

2. The problem: being caught by bad weather
The solution: a versatile outside area that can be open or covered

In the UK, it’s always wise to prepare for the possibility of a rain shower. At the Heston Hyde hotel, we’ve designed a patio area seating up to 500 guests that can be covered in the event of disappointing weather. We can serve your delegates coffee, lunch or dinner here; it’s also a popular venue for coffee breaks and on more informal occasions, is the perfect spot for a BBQ.

3. The problem: a lack of services and amenities
The solution: a hotel with conference and leisure facilities 

Whether you're planning a small meeting or a large conference, Heston Hyde Hotel offers an array of conference suites perfect for meetings, conferences, exhibitions, weddings and corporate hospitality, for up to 1400 delegates. There is also plenty of on-site parking and an indoor swimming pool, sauna and gym where your attendees will be able to relax after a long day.

4. The problem: catering for special dietary requirements
The solution: Our expert chefs are able to cater for most dietary requirements

From preparing vegetarian and vegan menus to catering for any food allergies, just let us know the dietary requirements of your guests and our chefs will take them into consideration when planning the menus for your event. 

5. The problem: accessibility
The solution: a hotel with conference facilities near Heathrow easy to reach

Thanks to its location close to the M4, it's easy to see why the Heston Hyde Hotel is one of the leading conference venues near Heathrow. Delegates arriving by car have complimentary parking and the hotel is also easy to reach from Central London on the Picadilly line to Hounslow West, followed by a 7-minute journey on the H32 bus.
