Convene Hospitality Group’s Innovative Venue Offerings for Corporate Events and Social Gatherings
Convene Hospitality Group announces its new multi-brand platform, combining premium event venues with flexible office space to cater to modern gatherings.
Convene Hospitality Group (CHG), a newly unified brand, today unveiled its formation by merging Convene with etc.venues, both recognised benchmarks in the meetings and events segment. This announcement sets a landmark expansion in the hospitality landscape, establishing CHG as the world’s foremost operator of flexible, premium-event and office environments. By curating destinations engineered to foster connections, CHG captures the rising global drift toward immersive, tailored settings capable of accommodating corporate assemblies, executive conferences, and bespoke private receptions.
CHG’s portfolio includes Convene, a premium provider of meeting and event venues, and etc.venues, a contemporary brand that operates more affordable, turnkey spaces for smaller gatherings. Together, these brands will offer an integrated solution for companies and organisations seeking versatile spaces that go beyond traditional event rooms, providing the perfect environment for corporate trainings, product launches, and immersive brand activations.
A New Era of Event Spaces and Hospitality
At the core of CHG’s vision is the creation of spaces that enhance collaboration and productivity. The group will design, develop, and operate hospitality-driven destinations that cater to various event types, from multiday conferences to private dinners and social gatherings. As businesses and individuals increasingly seek in-person experiences, CHG will provide venues that foster connection, creativity, and a sense of belonging, elevating the entire event experience.
Ryan Simonetti, CEO and co-founder of Convene, will lead CHG as its President and CEO. Simonetti’s leadership and expertise in the meeting and events sector will guide the group’s expansion and strategy, ensuring that CHG remains at the forefront of innovation in the hospitality industry.
Revolutionising the Meeting and Event Industry
With its multi-brand approach, CHG intends to redefine how businesses and organisations approach event planning and management. The integration of Convene and etc.venues offers flexibility in selecting the right venue for every type of gathering, from high-end corporate meetings to more informal training sessions and small conferences. The group’s focus on personalised service, cutting-edge technology, and sustainability ensures that each event is not only successful but also aligns with the values of today’s forward-thinking companies.
The Convene brand, known for its premium meeting spaces, offers full-service amenities with an emphasis on comfort and style. The etc.venues brand, on the other hand, caters to smaller gatherings and corporate training sessions with simple, streamlined spaces designed for efficiency. Together, the two brands create a cohesive, comprehensive offering that can cater to a broad spectrum of event requirements.
A Human-Centric Hospitality Experience for Modern Events
The hospitality model at CHG is built around a human-centric service approach. With personalised planning and customised event solutions, CHG ensures that every guest enjoys an immersive experience from start to finish. Its venues are designed to accommodate a wide range of needs, from sophisticated tech setups for large conferences to intimate settings for social dinners or creative brainstorming sessions.
In addition to the event spaces, CHG provides on-site catering, AV services, and production support, allowing businesses to host events seamlessly without worrying about logistics. This holistic approach to event management ensures that guests and participants experience not just an event but a memorable experience that fosters connection and collaboration.
Growing the Global Reach of Convene Hospitality Group
As a leader in the meeting and event industry, Convene Hospitality Group is committed to expanding its global footprint. CHG is currently the largest provider of dedicated meeting and event venues in the US and the UK, with a network of 38 locations across nine global cities. As the demand for event spaces continues to grow, CHG is poised to expand further, with new venues under development in key markets around the world.
The creation of Convene Hospitality Group comes at a time when businesses are investing more in in-person experiences and high-impact events as a means to build corporate culture, engage employees, and connect with clients. In a post-pandemic world, where hybrid and in-person events are increasingly valued, CHG offers a seamless and elevated solution for all types of gatherings.
The Future of Meetings and Events
Convene Hospitality Group’s debut signals a forward leap for the meetings and events landscape. Through a clever mix of forward-thinking brands, the company curates spaces precisely calibrated for the dynamic realities of modern corporate life. Each site channels the latest technological, aesthetic, and service forecasting, empowering clients to craft high-impact events that stick in memory. With in-person engagement reaching an all-time premium, CHG has positioned itself with intentional leadership in holistic design and delivery, to not merely adapt to the evolving requirement but to define the next chapter of meetings, events, and hospitality.
