TECHNIQUEST: A unique venue for your next event TECHNIQUEST: A unique venue for your next event Advertorial Subscribe to the Businessin Wales daily newsletter for FREE here.  With its waterfront setting in Cardiff Bay, just a few steps away from St David’s Hotel, Techniquest is a flexible space with a friendly and professional team all working together to create a unique experience for you and your guests. Its location provides easy access to the M4, with nearby parking and excellent public transport links. With Mermaid Quay on the doorstep, there are plenty of local restaurants and bay-side activities for clients to explore during longer breaks or overnight stays, and a wetlands nature reserve is situated a short walk away, offering an oasis of tranquillity alongside the bustling bay. Whether arranging a formal or informal event, the Techniquest team can take it to another level and make it extraordinary. From casual networking evenings to full day conferences, award ceremonies and large celebrations for up to 800 people: its dedicated and professional team pride themselves on having the personal touch — making the whole process as simple as possible for the organiser. The centre has several adaptable spaces that can be hired including: the main exhibition floors, a purpose-built Science Theatre, the KLA Lab, Learning Hub and Planetarium. With over 100 interactive exhibits on site acting as natural ‘ice-breakers’, guests can relax and enjoy a truly unique experience in a place that’s unlike any of the standard conference and events settings they may have grown used to. Where else can you feel the earth move under your feet on an earthquake simulator, be blown away by a hurricane experience, create clouds while networking, launch rockets or try your hand at docking a digital spacecraft while waiting for the next session to begin? There’s the opportunity to add extra science-themed ‘busking’ on the floor, or to take part in interactive workshops and team-building activities; you can even opt for a tour of the galaxy in the Planetarium to make your event completely out of this world. An ideal venue for everything from business meetings, networking sessions and conferences, to celebrations, dinners, weddings and family fun days — talk to the team about your requirements and find out how your event can be one that stands out from all the rest.
