The UK’s third-largest corporate conferencing venue has now been opened, boasting state-of-the-art features and unrivalled proximity to the country’s principal international gateway.

The Sofitel London Heathrow, located just one hundred yards away from the airport’s fifth terminal, has been praised by critics for its sleek architecture and modernist features, which include a “cathedral-like” main atrium and several stunning water fountains.

However, in addition to being a five-star hotel aimed at global jet-setters, the venue also boasts 45 separate meeting rooms and the massive Arora suite, capable of seating in excess of 1,000 delegates.

According to a review in the Daily Telegraph, “the corporate market is being vigorously targeted, for obvious reasons.

“It is not hard to imagine the Sofitel becoming a must-stay-at address for the executives of multinational companies, jetting in from all over the world, with time at a premium.”

In addition to being right next to the UK’s busiest airport, the new venue is located just 21 minutes from the centre of London by the Heathrow Express as well as being close to the M25 so as to allow easy access to the rest of the country.

The Red Bull Air Race World Series lands in the Capital for the fifth race of the series this summer, for what promises to be one of the most spectacular sporting events of the year.

The world’s best pilots will go head to head over the London skyline, in the world’s fastest and most exciting new motor sport.

Weaving their way through a complex series of air gates just metres above the Thames, at speeds of up to 250mph, and coping with forces of 10G, these dare devil pilots will certainly keep you on the edge of your seat.

For your chance to see British pilot Paul Bonhomme defend his status as leader of the series, just answer the question below. For more information, visit redbullairrace.com.

The Olympia Fair, a landmark event on the London art and antiques calendar for 35 years, has seen and survived many changes over the decades. Since its start in 1973, it has grown, shrunk, reinvented itself, expanded and retreated, changed names, management and ownership, while always managing to remain an admired and hugely popular fixture in the antiques world.

This year’s fair, which ran from June 5 to 15, exemplified its ability to change, and — perhaps more importantly, predicting the need for it — ensured Olympia’s continued success. The spring show, which stood alone for years before being joined by the February and November events, is without doubt a premier event again. Next year, after a drawn out display of survival of the fittest, will bring only two Olympia fairs. The June fair will return to its flagship status, on a par with major worldwide shows, and the exit of the February fair positions the November event for a more traditional role.

Now renamed Olympia International Art and Antiques Fair, it is smaller than in previous years, with 260 top dealers in a stunning layout and a new patron in Sir Timothy Clifford. This most recent incarnation garnered high praise from exhibitors and visitors alike.

Fair director Freya Simms spoke on behalf of the organizers, Clarion Events, and echoed the feelings of both dealers and buyers, commenting, “We are really proud of what has been achieved at Olympia. This year the fair looks spectacular and is a testament to the hard work and creative flair of the exhibitors in designing the stands and bringing such quality stock. Our visitor numbers are up and we are building for 2009.”

Casual Games Forum to debut during London Games Festival in October

The UK is to host a new, high-profile event dedicated to the business of casual games in October.

The Casual Games Forum will debut during London Games Festival on Thursday, October 30th in the centre of the Capital.

The event – put together by Develop conference organiser Tandem Events – will be a one-day conference, with a morning track focusing on opportunities in the sector and what the future holds.

There will be two tracks in the afternoon, with one exploring the lucrative potential of casual games and the other taking on a more technical, development-centric feel.

“The casual games industry has grown dramatically in recent times and is rapidly saying goodbye to its niche tag as it becomes more and more mainstream,” Tandem Director Andy Lane told CasualGaming.biz.

“The Casual Games Forum has been designed with several aims in mind; to explore the business angles of this exciting market, but also to get under the skin of the more technical and practical aspects of developing casual games.

“As well as catering for those already involved in the sector, it’ll offer those waiting on the sidelines the chance to learn more and perhaps more importantly, give everyone the chance to network together, either as future partners or possible competitors.”

For more information, call Tandem Events on: +44 (0)20 7405 4500
