Venue layout We will be using three separate buildings across the estate: • The Conference Centre (ballroom and two breakout rooms) • The Castle (one breakout room) • The Clubhouse (lunch)
As a result, the day will involve moving between buildings, with short outdoor walking distances between each.
Wednesday rehearsals For those arriving on Wednesday for rehearsals or preparation, the ballroom will be available from 4:00pm. A group meal has also been booked in the Clubhouse at 7:30pm.
Room capacity considerations We have a strong number of brokers registered, which is fantastic. The ballroom has a capacity of 150, with priority for brokers and Aviva presenters for the morning session 11am to 1.15pm. We would therefore ask other Aviva staff to be mindful of capacity and, where possible, make use of the time outside the ballroom to prepare for the afternoon breakout sessions. There will be ample opportunity to engage with brokers. Please take note of any relevant feedback shared.
The breakout room in the Castle has a maximum seating capacity of 50, so please be conscious of ensuring brokers attending this afternoon session are accommodated. The other two breakout rooms in the Conference Centre are larger, with no seating restrictions.
Meals & timings • Light lunch: 1:15pm • Conference concludes: 5:00pm • Dinner reception: from 6:00pm • Dinner served: approximately 6:45pm–7:00pm
For those staying overnight, Emma will be in touch shortly with your accommodation details.
If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out. Let’s work together to make this our best broker conference yet — and it looks like the weather is on our side too!
