Glasgow Social Enterprise Network
Client Background
GSEN provides the conditions and support for its members to connect, learn, share, and grow together. The network offers access to funding, procurement, training, and development opportunities, alongside hosting monthly meet-ups, training sessions, and events. GSEN emphasises keeping their spending within the network, hiring member venues and caterers whenever possible.
GSEN were looking for a venue that could accommodate various types of events, from board meetings and AGMs to larger 4 day events. They wanted a venue that was centrally located with good transport links and offered good value for money and a full range of services.
The Boardwalk provided an ideal venue for their recent events. The Boardwalk offers multiple rooms tailored for different event requirements, with GSEN booking various rooms in the venue.
- The Board Room: Used for GSEN board meetings.
- The Silver Room: For their AGMs, training sessions, workshops, and networking events.
- The Green Room: For training sessions, workshops, and networking events.
- Combination of Rooms: For a four-day GSEN Digital Festival 2023.
The Boardwalk provides comprehensive services, including catering, audiovisual equipment, and welcoming breakout spaces such as the foyer and courtyard, perfect for lunch or refreshment breaks. GSEN said they have chose the Boardwalk for their events due to its central location ensuring easy access for all attendees as well as its value for money, offering a great mix of room sizes and services at competitive prices.
