Technical Support on Tap

We understand your frustration when you can’t get your laptop to connect or you can’t access the WiFi; especially when you have to wait a long time for assistance. We have worked hard to eliminate that frustration.

If you’re the event leader, one of our event support team will show you to your room, give you a few minutes to get settled and then join you again to ensure that all your IT requirements are working.
Giving you WiFi codes, checking that your device connects to the projector, making sure you’re familiar with the appropriate equipment and answering any concerns that you may have.
If you experience any challenges during the day, you can call our team from your room or simply pop along to the office – the door is always open. We will be in your room within seconds of your alert and know how to resolve any issue.

Audio Visual Equipment On-site

Let the team know what you need to take your event to the next level and we’ll make it happen. There is no short supply of cameras, speakers, mics and more here in the venue, so please take advantage of the kit on offer. Anything you need, set-up in advance.

Projectors: All eco-friendly and from Optoma, a manufacturer exclusively dedicated to making high quality projectors that ensure your presentation is portrayed how you want it.
Adaptors: We have every conceivable adaptor on hand so regardless of which device you’re using, you’ll be able to connect!
PA system: Includes lapel, desktop and roaming microphones so that you’re covered for sitting at the desk, walking around, and getting input from your delegates in a Q&A session.
Hearing Loop: This is also available if you have anyone with hearing difficulties and wearing a hearing aid. We will have this set up for your arrival.
Walltalkers: Whilst not strictly Audio Visual, these turn an entire strip of wall into a whiteboard, enabling you to display and edit work as you and your delegates progress through your event. They’re very popular.

Immersive Hybrid Packages

Hybrid equipment that will ensure your event is a success. No more clunky connections or lagging calls with hybrid kit that tailors itself to your event. Sit back and immerse yourself in the full hybrid experience, we’ll take care of the rest.

With rooms sizes ranging from 1 person capacity, to 180, the possibilities for hybrid working are endless here at the Edinburgh Training and Conference Venue.
360° Panoramic Camera: Equipped with a 360 degree, panoramic camera your delegates will be in the loop from start to finish. Covering a 3m radius of the room in 1080p, you no longer have to worry about poor quality hybrid calls.
Built In Microphone: The built in mic has a 5.5m audio pickup radius, which catches audio from all angles of your room; therefore, perfect for larger groups. Being heard is never a problem.
Tri-Speaker System: Also included is the inbuilt speaker system that allows for all remote delegates to be heard across your entire event. Playing videos, music or audio has never been simpler.

Free High Speed WiFi

Although our capacity for delegates is 180, our WiFi system is robust enough for 500 people to access the internet simultaneously. 100 of those delegates could even be streaming video at the same time, although we never have quite that level of demand!

With nine access points around the building, that create individual WiFi hotspots, there is no corner without coverage. You can even check your email in the loos!
The shared WiFi is free to use and has been setup so that no one person can hog the bandwidth – everyone gets the same, fair usage.
A fully automated roll-over system means that if any of our 5 high speed lines go down, you can carry on with your course and not even notice the difference.
You have the option of a private network if you need it, giving you dedicated, secure, protected bandwidth. The network can be named after your event, and provided with your own secure password to make you feel more at home and add to your branding.

Personal and Friendly Welcome

If you’re running an event, you often want to be in the room as the delegates arrive. Running backwards and forwards in case you’ve missed anyone along the way is far from the ideal start to your day. That’s why we are here to help and ensure you and your delegates get off on the right foot.

We take that headache away by having one of our event support team on reception to meet your delegates and sign them in, regardless of the numbers on your event.
If you have anything to hand out before your event begins, we can do that at the same time; including name badges, information packs, agendas, pens and lanyards.
If you’re interviewing, we will show interviewees to the coffee lounge, where an area will be reserved so that you know who is waiting next.
If you’ve arranged anything like a complimentary breakfast for everyone, we can show delegates to the restaurant first. Equally if you’ve arranged to use the coffee lounge, we can take delegates there. Either way, we’re very happy to collect everybody up at the appropriate time and show them to your event room.
