imago targets not for profit sector

imago, the conference and events arm of Loughborough University, is targeting new business opportunities in the not for profit sector. 

And to showcase how its portfolio of venues are ideally suited for events organised by charities and associations from the not for profit sector, imago is exhibiting at CHASE. Taking place at the Business Design Centre, London, on 17 and 18 February the event brings together senior decision makers from this sector giving them the opportunity to meet with suppliers focused on providing services to charities and membership bodies.

imago has hosted many events from the sector with previous clients including those from the youth, sporting and disability sectors. 

Based in Loughborough, Leicestershire, imago is a leading provider of meeting and event spaces. Its portfolio of venues includes 

• Burleigh Court; which has 26 meeting rooms, 225 bedrooms and 150sqm of exhibition space. 

• Holywell Park; a dedicated conference centre for up to 300 delegates. 

• Loughborough University; with conference, training and exhibition facilities for up to 2,000 delegates. 

• The Link Hotel; an excellently located hotel for delegates to meet and network. 

Organisations looking to hold events with imago can take advantage of two exclusive offers when booking at imago’s facilities. For events being held on Loughborough University Campus, for every 15 delegates, organisers using the code Spring15 will receive one place free of charge.* 

The second offer is available for weekend events taking place at Burleigh Court. Special 24 hour and day delegate rates are available for groups of up to 100 delegates and groups of more than 100 delegates wishing to take advantage of its extensive facilities for residential events such as leadership workshops, spiritual retreats, team building, training and networking. Both include the use of up to two complimentary syndicate meeting rooms (subject to availability). 

imago has received industry wide recognition for its services - including achieving AIM Gold, the highest level of venue accreditation - and the facilities available on Loughborough University Campus have been widely acknowledged as some of the best academic facilities for meetings and events in the country. 

Emma Boynton, head of sales and marketing at imago comments: “We have taken a strategic approach to how we can increase business. And the not for profit sector is just one area where we are looking to grow. Our portfolio of venues, particularly Loughborough University Campus, are suited to the needs of charities and associations holding events in the East Midlands. CHASE provides us with the opportunity to showcase our venue offering in a dedicated business environment, and we’re looking forward to meeting with senior decision makers and highlighting how our experience in organising meetings and events can benefit them and their members.”
