Conferences and Meetings
A piece of history buzzing with the future, in the heart of a vibrant, creative city. Brighton Dome is the perfect backdrop for conferences seeking to inspire.
Brighton Dome is a landmark conference and events venue suited to large-scale association and corporate conferences for up to 1,700 delegates. Located in the heart of Brighton’s Cultural Quarter, the venue combines historic character with flexible, high quality event spaces and experienced in-house technical support.
The Concert Hall features raked seating and excellent sightlines, making it ideal for keynote sessions, plenaries and graduation ceremonies. The adjoining Corn Exchange is a highly adaptable space, configurable with raked seating or as a clear, flat floor hall, with a beautiful interior , supporting conferences, exhibitions and dinners for up to 500 guests.
With multiple additional spaces for breakouts, registration and catering, and easy access to hotels, transport links and the seafront, Brighton Dome offers a well connected, versatile setting for impactful and memorable large scale events.
The Brighton Dome team made it very easy for us to organise our annual conference successfully. The refurbished spaces are beautiful and very functional.
Stefie Bosman Lead Organiser Conference Organiser GÉANT
We bring our 1,300 strong audience back to the Brighton Dome every year, because we deeply value the history of the venue and contributions it makes to our City. With an audience our size, we could easily move to a bigger space. However, we would never want to risk losing the rich history and identity that the Brighton Dome adds to our event'
