The city of Oxford has been doing this for centuries. Think dreaming spires, history and the world’s most famous university; just a few unique factors to consider when considering a backdrop for your latest conference. While traditional conference rooms are functional, they often lack the wow factor that can truly make an event memorable. Let’s take a closer look at [St Catherine’s College Conferences](https://www.catzconferences.com/), and how our offering can make your event stand head and shoulders above others held nationwide. ### Why Conference Surroundings Are Important? When it comes to conferences, the venue sets the tone for the entire event. A special conference room makes for a special atmosphere, and delegates can really feel that. By choosing a venue out of the ordinary, you create an environment which inspires creativity and stimulates that all-important interaction among attendees. ### Extraordinary Things Take Place in Extraordinary Places **St Catherine’s College Conferences** offers a great choice of unconventional spaces that can transform your conference into an outstanding event. From historic buildings and contemporary architecture to scenic outdoor locations, our venues provide a refreshing change from traditional conference settings. These spaces add character and charm too, leaving a lasting impression on your attendees. ### Bespoke Solutions for Tech and Beyond In addition to unique venues, St Catherine’s College Conferences provides a range of tailored amenities to enhance the overall conference experience. From state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, flexible seating arrangements and a range of catering options, you’ll find every aspect of your event runs like clockwork. ### Customisation and Branding Opportunities Being unique in a crowded conference landscape requires real attention to the small details which make a big difference. We offer opportunities to align the venue with your conference theme and branding. Whether it’s projecting your logo onto iconic architecture or creating custom signage, there’s the opportunity to distinguish your event. ### Better Networking and Collaboration A unique conference room can facilitate networking and collaboration. St Catherine’s College Conferences’ venues provide breakout areas, networking spaces, and lounges to encourage meaningful conversations and connections which are best made in a face-to face meeting. Distinctive surroundings spark creativity and inspire new thinking and new ideas. ### Conclusion When it comes to organising a conference, choosing the right venue can make all the difference. By opting for unique conference room hire courtesy of St Catherine’s College Conferences, you can elevate your event to new heights. Our exceptional venues, tailored amenities, and customisation options create an unforgettable experience for attendees.   So, take the leap and make your conference stand out from the rest by [choosing a venue that embodies creativity, inspiration, and innovation.](https://www.catzconferences.com/venues) ## Recommended For You [![](https://www.catzconferences.com/hubfs/Food3.webp)](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/oxfords-largest-college-to-host-prestigious-conferences) 1 Min Read ### [Oxford’s Largest College to Host Prestigious Conferences](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/oxfords-largest-college-to-host-prestigious-conferences) [![Picture of Belinda Gardner](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/c7adfe98cc047452eaede7fb0c317044) Belinda Gardner 7/31/25, 11:11 AM](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/author/belinda-gardner) [![residential and non-residential conference centres](https://www.catzconferences.com/hubfs/st%20catherines%20conference%20how%20to%20save%20money%20and%20time.jpg)](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/comparing-residential-and-non-residential-conference-centres) 2 Min Read ### [Comparing Residential and Non-Residential Conference Centres](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/comparing-residential-and-non-residential-conference-centres) [![Picture of Belinda Gardner](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/c7adfe98cc047452eaede7fb0c317044) Belinda Gardner 10/9/23, 5:05 AM](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/author/belinda-gardner) [![St Catz Junior Common Room Bar](https://www.catzconferences.com/hubfs/St%20Catz%20Junior%20Common%20Room%20Bar.jpg)](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/newly-refurbished-conference-venue-oxford) 3 Min Read ### [Discover the Newly Refurbished Junior Common Room at St Catherine’s College, Oxford](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/newly-refurbished-conference-venue-oxford) [![Picture of Belinda Gardner](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/c7adfe98cc047452eaede7fb0c317044) Belinda Gardner 6/18/26, 1:18 PM](https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/author/belinda-gardner) ![StCatz_White](https://www.catzconferences.com/hs-fs/hubfs/brand/StCatz_White.png?width=300&height=154&name=StCatz_White.png) St Catherine's College, Manor Road, Oxford, OX1 3UJ Call: 01865 281194 / 01865 271717 | Email: [catz.conferences@stcatz.ox.ac.uk](mailto:catz.conferences@stcatz.ox.ac.uk) © St Catherine's College 2025 | [Terms & Conditions](https://www.catzconferences.com/terms-conditions) | [Cookie Policy](https://www.catzconferences.com/cookie-policy) If you are interested in finding out more about St Catherine’s College Conferences and receiving information on special offers and discounts, please sign up for our newsletter/mailing list below (note: any mailing we do undertake is limited and you can unsubscribe at any time) - [Venues Overview](https://www.catzconferences.com/venues) - [Junior Common Room](https://www.catzconferences.com/venues/the-junior-common-room) - [The Arumugam Building](https://www.catzconferences.com/venues/the-arumugam-building) - [The Mary Sunley Suite](https://www.catzconferences.com/venues/the-mary-sunley-building) - [The Quad Suites](https://www.catzconferences.com/venues/the-quad-suites) - [Stay With Us](https://www.catzconferences.com/stay-with-us) - [Our Team](https://www.catzconferences.com/our-team) - [Visit Oxford](https://www.catzconferences.com/visit-oxford) - [Accommodation](https://www.catzconferences.com/stay-with-us/accommodation) - [Make A Booking](https://www.catzconferences.com/contact) © St Catherine's College 2023 [Terms & Conditions](https://www.catzconferences.com/terms-conditions) | [Cookie Policy](https://www.catzconferences.com/cookie-policy) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Belinda Gardner", "url" : "https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/author/belinda-gardner" }, "dateModified" : "2023-06-23T13:28:04.006Z", "datePublished" : "2023-06-23T13:28:04.000Z", "headline" : "Making Your Conference Stand Out With Unique Conference Room Hire", "image" : [ "https://www.catzconferences.com/hubfs/Making-Your-Conference-Stand-Out-With-Unique-Conference-Room-Hire%20(1).jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.catzconferences.com/blog/making-your-conference-stand-out-with-unique-conference-room-hire", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.catzconferences.com/hubfs/brand/st%20catherines%20college%20conferences%20logo.png" } } } ```
