Conference and Banqueting Manager

The conference and banqueting manager role in modern hotels has become crucially important as properties seek to maximize the return from their suites, public rooms and banqueting facilities.  Whether it be a wedding for 500 or a boardroom meeting for 15, these revenue streams are vital for financial survival and the conference and banqueting manager must be adept at both planning and delivering a variety of functions.  They will be involved from the outset, meeting the clients, understanding their food and drink requirements and ascertaining whether any equipment may need to be hired in for presentations or seminars. 

The conference and banqueting manager will often also be the first point of contact with wedding parties, and as such will be required to be present at the reception, but in larger properties a designated wedding planner will be on the staff.  The conference and banqueting manager will have their own dedicated team of staff but will also take floor staff from the food and beverage department to run such events.
