About us

etc.venues is part of the Convene portfolio of brands. The company was founded in 1992 by Sally Wilton. After working as a corporate trainer, Wilton saw an opportunity to reimagine what she saw as poorly-serviced, old fashioned training venues. She opened the first etc.venues location at Avonmouth House, South London as a purpose-built venue built with the end users in mind. In 2006, after nearly 15 years of successfully delivering best-in-class training and event experiences, the company drew the attention of a private equity firm that led to further investments into the etc.venues business, ultimately growing its footprint across London and into Manchester, Birmingham, and New York City. In February 2023, etc.venues was acquired by Convene, a global hospitality company that designs and manages premium meeting, event, and flexible workspaces, forming the largest single provider of dedicated meeting and event venues in the US and UK with a network of 38 locations across nine cities.

    Staying adaptable and giving event organisers the autonomy to make choices that help us to deliver what they need is crucial to our offering. No one conference, meeting, or event is the same, so custom-tailored packages will always be part of the amazing service all our venues offer. The size, design, and layout of the rooms, the technology on hand, the furnishings, the opportunity for dedicated branding, the refreshments on offer, and the level of privacy or interaction you seek- it is all considered and delivered on an individual basis. This openness and flexibility for what you need is one of the main reasons why etc.venues is chosen to host such a diverse range of clients and events. Purpose-built for you, and you only, to get the very best out of your budget, time, and schedule.

    Back once again with some Canapé action! These bite-sized beauties remain an incredibly popular choice for event organisers using our venues. But why? Firstly, they’re easy to eat, and due to their small size, guests can eat these on the move, giving them more opportunities to circulate and engage with one another. Another benefit to Canapés is just how adaptable they are to themes and seasons, none more so than the festive period. So, if you’re planning to book one of our venues for a Christmas party, just know that our fresh and tasty Canapés can set the tone for your socials.
