University of Hull – Beyond Events is a large university-based conference and events operation serving corporate, academic, professional and social events in Hull. Its principal conference facility is Canham Turner, a modern venue containing a wide range of meeting and conference rooms, flexible suites, dining spaces and breakout facilities. The University's wider events portfolio also includes Middleton Hall, a 406-seat auditorium and cultural venue equipped for conferences, product launches, award ceremonies and performances. Other campus facilities provide additional meeting, exhibition, dining and event options. The venue is designed to accommodate events of very different sizes, from small board meetings and workshops to major conferences, banquets, exhibitions and evening functions. Published room specifications include rooms ranging from small eight-person meeting rooms to the Kingsley Suite, which can accommodate up to 300 in theatre configuration, and Middleton Hall with 406 seats. The University also promotes residential conference facilities, with hotel-standard accommodation available on campus. Catering, audio-visual equipment, flexible room layouts, breakout areas and event-management support are available. The venue is particularly attractive for conferences requiring multiple rooms because several meeting rooms can operate simultaneously as plenary, breakout, training and dining spaces. Its combination of a large auditorium, conference rooms, suites, dining facilities and accommodation makes the University of Hull one of the more comprehensive conference venues in Hull.
