ADVERTORIAL Business TRADING SPACES A LIGHT BULB MOMENT LEADS TO A RENOVATION What do you do when your conference has a trade show/exhibit element to it? A trade show needs a lot of space which can typically only be found in large convention centres and exhibition halls. While, a conference demands a dedicated space with comfortable meeting rooms, state of the art technology, amazing food and outstanding service. It’s difficult to combine both for a seamless experience. Large groups can now meet in the comfort of our amazing conference facility, stay in our fantastic rooms and dine in style throughout their entire event. Best of all, the trade show environs connect directly with the conference centre, allowing delegates to walk freely between meetings and the show, for a truly comprehensive event. “We had many conference clients expanding their events to include trade show elements and as their events grew, so did their space requirements. It’s not ideal to snake trade show booths throughout the public spaces or jam them into your largest meeting room. The demand was growing in our business and there was no solution in sight until one day, while looking out over the tennis courts in our club a light bulb went on! That’s a ton of space and it could easily connect to our conference centre!” – Richard Reid, Executive Director of Sales and Hotel Operations at White Oaks Conference Resort & Spa After careful consideration an architect was called in and construction began on making slight alterations to the existing tennis court building. A double doorway was created leading directly into the facility’s conference centre providing clients with the perfect solution. The Exhibition Hall at White Oaks was born!
