As part of its on going work to raise Leeds’ profile as a leading conferencing city, ConferenceLeeds is joining Northern Ballet at its London Première of 1984 at Sadler’s Wells. Representatives from Q Hotels, and other Leeds venues will join the ConferenceLeeds team in meeting with conference and event buyers to drive business tourism to the region.

“Opportunities such as this are fantastic for us to raise the profile of Leeds as a conferencing city, to national and international figures in the conferencing and events industry. We’re extremely proud and excited to be accompanying Northern Ballet in London, as it allows us to showcase the fantastic creative hub that exists in Leeds. As one of our more unique conferencing venues, the home of Northern Ballet offers a flexible and inspiring conferencing space that can host up to 230 delegates. By working together in London, along with some of the city’s leading hotels and venues, we aim to showcase our city and what it has to offer as a leading conference and events destination.”
