To get things started here's a first thought:

The meetings industry in the UK has experienced serious contraction in the last 24 months much of which is down to reductions in public sector meeting activity. Many organisations now have an 'in-house' first policy using offices in their own premises in preference to hired meeting space.

Meanwhile, many new venues seem to be opening and existing venues are re-inventing themselves as business centres with other services and solutions.

Does this mean that the traditional hotel meeting room that doubles as a banqueting suite is now finally on its way out? Or is it just the opposite because venues that can cater for both successfully are more flexible and enterprising and therefore will capture business more readily?
