Basecamp venues with accommodation
When you want your team to sleep, work, and host all in one place, choose a basecamp that doubles as accommodation. Everyone stays under one roof, ready to regroup at any hour.
Villas
A private villa is the ultimate basecamp. With bedrooms for your team, generous living areas, a garden or pool, and often a private chef, a villa lets you host confidential lunches, dinners, and cocktails while keeping everyone together. Ideal for senior teams and VIP guests who want privacy away from the crowds.
Apartments and Penthouses
A central apartment or penthouse puts your basecamp in the heart of the action. It works as both accommodation and a hosting space: a place to take meetings during the day, grab a coffee between sessions, and welcome a handful of guests in the evening, often steps from the main venue.
Lofts
A loft offers space and flexibility, with open living areas to gather the team and room to add sleeping arrangements. Its blank-canvas feel makes it easy to brand and configure as a working hub by day and a relaxed reception space by night.
Basecamp venues without accommodation
When your team already has accommodation, a dedicated daytime base keeps everyone close to the congress. These venues are made for hosting and hospitality, without bedrooms.
Restaurants and Bars
A restaurant or bar makes an easy, full-service basecamp. Privatise it for the day or the evening to use as a meeting point, a lunch spot for the team, and a venue for client dinners or cocktails, with food and drink handled in-house from morning coffee to late-night drinks.
Art Galleries and Event Spaces
A gallery or blank-canvas event space gives you a striking, brandable basecamp for daytime hospitality. Open volumes and good light make it ideal for meetings, product showcases, press moments, and networking, configured exactly how you want it.
Rooftops and Terraces
A rooftop or terrace turns your basecamp into a destination. With open-air space and city or sea views, it is perfect for daytime hospitality and headline evening events such as cocktails and receptions during the busiest days of the congress.
How to Choose Your Basecamp Venue
Location Near the Venue
Proximity is everything during a congress. Choose a basecamp within easy reach of the main venue so your team can move between sessions and your space without losing time, whether on foot or with a short transfer.
Accommodation or Daytime Only
Decide early whether your basecamp should include accommodation. A villa or apartment keeps the team together overnight, while a restaurant, gallery, or rooftop works as a daytime and evening hub when accommodation is booked separately.
Capacity and Layout
Match the venue to how your team works. Look for room to gather the whole group, quieter corners for private meetings, and a layout that flows between working by day and hosting by night.
Catering and Privatisation
A good basecamp runs on food, drink, and flexibility. Check whether catering is handled in-house or by your own provider, and confirm the level of exclusivity you need, from full privatisation to a dedicated area, so the space feels entirely yours.
Events You Can Host in a Basecamp
A basecamp is far more than a place to sit between meetings. Over a single congress week, the same venue can host a whole programme of moments.
Team HQ and Daily Briefings
Use your basecamp as the team's headquarters: a place to start the day with a briefing, drop bags, recharge between sessions, and regroup before the next meeting.
Client Meetings and Hospitality
Welcome clients, prospects, and partners in a private, branded setting. A basecamp gives you a calm, professional space for one-to-one meetings and small roundtables away from the noise of the congress.
Lunches and Working Sessions
Host working lunches and informal catch-ups throughout the day, with food and drink on hand so the team and guests can grab a bite whenever the schedule allows.
Cocktails and Networking
Turn the evening into a networking moment with a cocktail or apéritif at your basecamp, an easy, on-brand way to gather contacts in a space that is unmistakably yours.
Private Dinners and Gala Evenings
Host seated dinners and gala evenings for clients and VIPs, from an intimate dinner in a villa to a full reception on a rooftop or in a privatised restaurant.
Brand Activations and Experiences
Stage product showcases, press moments, and branded experiences, using the basecamp as a canvas to bring your brand to life for the duration of the event.
