We host a wide range of different types of conferences and events, such as:
1. Automotive Conferences
With the National Motorcycle Museum, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t host automotive conferences. While not as widely-produced as business or corporate conferences, we often find that automotive conferences can be quite entertaining depending on the topic. Some of which include:
- Challenges in the industry
- Fuel sources and sustainability
- Innovation and technology
- Networking or discussions
- Regulatory updates
- Trends or new opportunities
- Workshops and training
2. Business Conferences
Business conferences can be intense, so ensuring you have the perfect room is crucial. All your important documents and discussions are kept private in our establishment, but you can still call on our staff when you need.

- Announcements
- Industry insights and trends
- Interviews
- Keynote presentations
- Networking or panel discussions

3. Corporate Conferences
Corporate conferences are not your average business meetings. They are significant across all sectors, including hospitality, finance, law and more. Often comprising board members, employees and stakeholders, a corporate conference is an essential part of any business. Some major topics include:

- Criteria updates
- Networking
- Presentations and research panels
- Showcasing resources (products, services, technology, etc)

- Industry insights and market analysis
- Keynote speakers
- Networking or panel discussions
- Regulatory updates
- Showcasing new technologies
- Technical papers or presentations
- Workshops and training
