Lisbon

If you're searching for a destination that blends historic charm, modern infrastructure, and unforgettable experiences, look no further than Lisbon.

Portugal’s vibrant capital is fast becoming one of Europe’s top choices for corporate events, conferences, and incentive travel—and for good reason.

It’s cobbled streets, iconic landmarks and riverside setting offer an inspiring backdrop for any event, with the city’s warm hospitality ensuring delegates feel welcomed and engaged from the moment they arrive.

There is a wide range of event spaces, from cutting-edge conference centres to atmospheric historic venues. Highlights include:

• The Beato Convent which is a beautifully restored venue for up to 1,000 guests and the Lisbon Cruise Terminal which is a modern space with river views and ideal for mid-sized events.
• The Carlos Lopes Pavilion is an historic venue perfect for large-scale gatherings while LX Factory offers an industrial-chic hot spot for creative events and private dinners.

With the number of hotels on the increase, Lisbon is blessed with very good transport links.

There are direct flights into Lisbon from major cities and once you arrive the city’s compact layout means venues, hotels and attractions are often just minutes apart.

So whether you're planning a high-impact conference or a memorable incentive trip, Lisbon delivers the perfect mix of professionalism, personality, and possibility.

Lisbon in 3 words: Historic, Vibrant and Coastal.

Sheffield

Why not make the greenest city in the UK your next destination for an event?

Sheffield, at the heart of the UK, is easily accessible from major cities like Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham and Birmingham - with direct train links to London in just two hours too.

You’ll be spoilt for choice with more than 100 event venues catering for intimate meetings to large-scale conferences.

There’s The Winter Garden - Europe’s largest urban glasshouse – as well as stylish spots in Kelham Island, which Time Out described as one of the UK’s coolest neighbourhoods.

The city has undergone a transformation in recent years and is proud of its eco-friendly ethos which reveals 61% of the city is greenspace.

With part of the Peak District National Park within its boundaries, Sheffield is committed to becoming a zero-carbon city by 2030, making it a top choice for eco-conscious event planners.

A thriving food and drink scene and a friendly Yorkshire welcome, your delegates will be made to feel at home whether you're planning networking drinks, team-building activities, or post-event socials.

And with two leading universities - University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam - the city is a real hub for research and innovation, especially in engineering, health and smart materials.

It’s therefore a great location for industry-specific conferences and knowledge-sharing events – it’s a city that really delivers!

Sheffield in 3 words: Green, Industrious and Welcoming.
