Events of this kind comprised 36% of the venue\u2019s delivered events last year, equating to an overall growth of over 160% from 2011 to 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Science Museum invested circa \u00a31.7 million in the refurbishment of its facilities, including the installation of new equipment for the IMAX cinema, renovations of the exterior and main concourse, as well as the installment of fa\u00e7ade lighting, new reception desks and additional digital signage throughout the venue to enhance the corporate events offering.<\/p>\n<p>The venue has recently attracted numerous high profile clients: in September 2012, the IMAX cinema set the stage for EE, the UK&#8217;s largest mobile network and owner of the\u00a0<a  title=\"More from guardian.co.uk on Orange\" href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/business\/orange\">Orange<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a  title=\"More from guardian.co.uk on T-Mobile\" href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/business\/t-mobile\">T-Mobile<\/a>\u00a0brands, to launch its 4G network at a press conference attended by Mayor Boris Johnson. The 700 square-metre blank canvas space Level 1 was selected as the backdrop for Acer\u2019s Windows 8 launch in October 2012 and the same space was then utilised in conjunction with the IMAX cinema as the Science Museum hosted the launch of Coca-Cola and WWF\u2019s pan-European campaign \u2018Arctic Home\u2019 in January 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Alicia Earls, communications manager \u2013 events at the Science Museum, said: \u201cThe growth in business over the past year demonstrates the success of our investments; we now have more availability to meet the requirements of the corporate event market. Unique venues are becoming increasingly sought after by event organisers, and this trend is really highlighted by the increased interest for major events in our venue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Science Museum was recently shortlisted in the Conference Venue &amp; Supplier Awards 2013 in the Best Medium Conference Venue, Best Awards Venue and Best Customer Service (over 300 delegates) categories.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exhibitionindustrynews.co.uk\/2013\/04\/the-science-museum-notes-160-increase-in-major-events\/\">The Science Museum notes 160% increase in major events<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exhibitionindustrynews.co.uk\">Exhibition Industry News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Kensington based venue the Science Museum reveals a 160% increase in major event bookings following last year\u2019s \u00a31.7m investment in its corporate events spaces.
