Kantar required a spacious, centrally located venue with a unique environment beneficial to fostering insightful discussions and connections, and naturally opted for 66 Portland Place. The Art Deco venue provided the perfect backdrop for the event with its three main spaces – the RIBA Gallery, Jarvis Hall and Florence Hall – all in action.
The RIBA Gallery was utilised as a registration area before guests headed to the Jarvis Hall & Auditorium for the main speaker sessions and panel discussions. The iconic Florence Hall hosted client networking, as well as bespoke stands for demos, signage, and collateral.

It’s a dynamic and exciting day focused on hearing from the best and the brightest in the industry, on driving authentic brand growth, and above all on celebrating our incredible clients. RIBA’s stunning Art Deco headquarters in central London was the perfect setting to bring the Kantar brand to life. Their team is top-notch, and we felt taken care of throughout the entire planning process.”
Thomas Morgan, Head of Venues and Events Delivery, adds: “It was fantastic to host the Kantar team at 66 Portland Place for the IGNITE Conference. The event made full use of our main event spaces with three distinct areas for registration, speaker sessions and networking that guests were seamlessly able to navigate.”
