Conference Oxford

Conference Oxford helps event planners find and compare bookable spaces across the University of Oxford. Its central enquiry service brings together a wide choice of colleges, museums, libraries and other university venues, making it easier to search for a suitable location without approaching each venue separately.

The service supports organisers planning conferences, meetings, dinners, receptions, parties, weddings, summer schools and other gatherings. Depending on the requirements, options may include formal college halls, private dining rooms, museum galleries, libraries, gardens and purpose-built meeting spaces. Some venues can also provide bedrooms for residential conferences or group stays.

Organisers can submit their preferred dates, guest numbers and event needs through a single enquiry. Conference Oxford then shares the request with venues that appear suitable. Those venues can respond directly with availability and proposals, allowing the organiser to consider the options. Site visits can also be arranged for shortlisted spaces, and the team can offer support when an event needs more than one venue. It can also suggest local suppliers and services where useful.

The venue-finding service is free to use and open to organisers. Rather than operating as one event space, Conference Oxford acts as a point of contact for discovering venues across Oxford. This gives planners a practical route to explore the city's university settings, compare possibilities and take their event enquiry forward with the venues themselves.
