The Best Webcasting Venue in Central London
December 29th, 2009
Now we have our superfast fibre line provided by the good people at Colt, we inevitably hit the next issue, how to integrate our state of the art Cisco switches and firewalls with the myriad of webcasting hardware items normally supplied by our clients. Our first step hopefully to be achieved tomorrow is to set up a permanent video conference using a Polycom VSX7000 between our America Square venue and the Cavendish Conference Centre. These are key issues are we are getting lots of enquiries to host AGM’s and results presentations, events that requite webcasting etc.

Cavendish Conference Venues commitment to sustainability
December 22nd, 2009
Now the Copenhagen climate change summit has ended in failure, at least that’s how it seems to us. When have governments ever made the hard decisions even if they are legally binding, now they are not, there is really no reason to believe that they will facilitate meaningful carbon reductions. The choice either we can all fry together, or us the ants at the bottom of the pile can make attempt to make the smallest of changes, maybe they will all add up to something. Maybe together we can build an ant house, aren’t they meant to be the coolest places in a desert. We are Cavendish Conference Venues are trying to do out tiny winy bit to introduce as many sustainable practises as possible. Our latest innovation perhaps the hardest, introduce high quality web casting facilities at all venues. (Mayfair Conference Centre, Cavendish Conference Centre, Hallam Conference Centre, America Square Conference Centre and the ICO Conference Centre) We believe this unites the entire vision, conference venues as close to clients as is possible, then for delegates who cannot attend a live at cost web cast of the event.

Cavendish Conference Venues take the Technological Lead
December 21st, 2009
In March next year Cavendish Conference Centre is once again demonstrating is technical lead by hosting a music 4.5 event. Music 4.5 brings together music tech start-ups, serial entrepreneurs, investors, artists, band managers and key industry players to share knowledge, discuss strategies for business success, debate market trends and evolution, as well as network.
The name Music 4.5 is derived from a Web 2.0 philosophy which says that, after the huge losses incurred on Web 1.0, the ambition for web enterprises is to make money and achieve a 4.5 times return on investment (ROI). In the music and technology business landscape this means a 4.5 times ROI for all parties: artists, entrepreneurs and investors.
The Music 4.5 event brings together the tech geeks and the music geeks, both innovators and creators, with the aim of inspiring a new creative discussion focusing on innovation, revenue and business model opportunities, disruptive technology and social content. Most innovation in the music industry comes from tech companies attempting to disrupt the market and find a sustainable way of making money in the ‘era of free music’. The objective of the Music 4.5 day is to create, curate and deliver fresh thinking focusing on the opportunity within the extended new music paradigm.

Londons best webcasting venue
December 15th, 2009
We at Cavendish Conference Centres want to be able to offer absolute cutting edge webcasting and video conferencing technology. On Friday at our America Square Conference Centre we hosted a major presentation for Royal Bank Of Scotland (Chief Executive / Chairmen the works), part of this involved webcasting parts of the event up to their headquarters in Edinburgh. They left happy as lambs. Maybe its on the back of this that we have now won major new contract with an international IT company, who want to webcast to 15 locations worldwide. We have invested in state of the art fibre lines with quality of service guarantees enabling us to offer guaranteed bandwidth to our clients. This is backed up with the highest possible service level guarantees (4 hour fix time) the lines themselves are further backed up with a series of fully independent business quality ADSL lines. We are confident we can offer the best webcasting and video conferring of any Central London conference or meeting venue.

Feeding the 5,000
December 15th, 2009
Isn’t it astonishing that British consumers throw away roughly a quarter of the food we buy? Being a country bumpkin remote worker, I have only just heard of the experiment in Trafalgar Square tomorrow, 16th December, when Tristam Stuart, author of “Waste: Uncovering The Global Food Scandal” will be attempting to feed 5,000 people with food that otherwise would have been chucked out. Lunch and groceries will be free for anyone who goes along. The food has been donated by farms – and although of excellent quality would all be rejected by supermarkets for being “imperfect” ie. not of a certain size, shape or colour, as decreed desirable by supermarkets. Millions of tons of good food is apparently dumped in fields to rot – indeed, according to a recent report, farmers can expect between 20% and 40% of their fruit and vegetables to be rejected, which means that we have to import more of the same from abroad. How insane is this? Meanwhile, the giant cook-up in Trafalgar Square takes place tomorrrow, so for anyone who is not enjoying lunch at one of our Conference Centres tomorrow, it’s the place to be.
