Business meeting and training venues have always been about communication – but modern digital technology is transforming the opportunities available to delegates.

Meetings now have an ever increasing amount of digital interaction requiring serious bandwidth at the host conference centre.

The accelerating pace of business is putting much greater demands on host centres. Speakers and delegates need to access ever larger amounts of data as part of their day-to-day conference business.

Presentations from delegates attending the conference or training venue must be integrated seamlessly with those from colleagues and business partners video-conferencing into the event from offices on the other side of the world.

Technology enables delegates to delve ever more into research websites; access or update social networks and video-call colleagues as part of their daily conference business.

Leading edge business meetings destinations such as Lane End Conference Centre embraced the idea long ago.

Lane End continues to drive up standards with ever faster broadband links and larger plasma screens for its business meeting venues and training facilities.

The Buckinghamshire conference centre has been upgrading its broadband link to 100 megabytes thanks to a new direct fibre optic link as part of its latest refurbishments.

Sales and Marketing Manager Heni Fourie said: “High speed digital connectivity has always been important to us and we are determined to remain at the forefront.”

Lane End Conference Centre is an international residential conference destination just an hour’s drive from the centre of London and 45 minutes from Heathrow Airport. It is easily accessible thanks to its proximity to the M25 and M40.

Situated in 26 acres of beautiful Chilterns countryside, Lane End has 34 conference rooms and 104 en-suite bedrooms in five dedicated buildings.
