Kent Event Centre has said it aims to target international association events. The decision comes after the reported success of the recent International Society of Equine Locomotor Pathology (ISELP) conference for equine vets, which took place at the venue in April.
Kent Event Centre’s Event centre manager, Alison Wallington, says: “Our size and space makes us a great location for association events of all shapes and sizes. The recent ISELP conference chose the venue because we offered the space to cater for practical sessions which were a key part of the education programme, which many venues simply wouldn’t have the space for. Add to that our competitive pricing and discounts for associations and charities, we believe we have a great offering for association events and look forward to welcoming them in the future.”
Kent Event Centre is the commercial arm of the Kent County Agricultural Society, an agricultural charity established in 1923 based at the Kent Showground near Maidstone in Kent. The Kent Event Centre, which is a charity, opened in 1991 as the commercial arm of the charity as a dedicated conference and events venue.
The venue has 7,000sqm of indoor space along with 200 acres of outdoor space, which proved a great asset to ISELP who needed space to transform into a working veterinary surgery for the duration of the event. The venue also benefits from 1,000 bedrooms at hotels within a 10-mile radius.
