Conferences & Events
Contact’s iconic venue on Oxford Road is situated at the heart of the Corridor Manchester Enterprise Zone. Rubbing shoulders with the University of Manchester, innumerable start-ups and Manchester Science Park, we are at the hub of the city’s thriving innovation district.
Our flexible and varied events spaces are ideal for conferencing, workshops and receptions. The venue also features relaxed and vibrant communal spaces, and will reopen with an distinctive new food & drink offer (watch this space!).
From planning to delivery, our creative and highly professional team will work closely with you at every step to ensure all your operational, technical and delegate requirements are fulfilled.
If you’re looking to add an artistic spark to your event, our team of Creative Experts can provide bespoke conference enhancement services such as creative responses and workshop facilitation.
