Hockley Social Club Hosts First-Ever Night Time Economy Summit for NTIA
Earlier this year, our venue, Hockley Social Club had the honour of hosting the Night Time Economy Summit. This prestigious two-day event was organised by the Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) and was a landmark occasion for our venue. For the first time, we transformed into a conference-style setting to accommodate a large-scale corporate event. The summit brought together industry leaders, policymakers, and creatives. Across two days, they explored the biggest challenges and opportunities shaping the UK’s nightlife sector.
With an incredible lineup of guest speakers, including UB40’s Robin Campbell, Matthew Doyle, and Matt Campbell, the event sparked meaningful conversations on key topics such as:
- Creating safe spaces in nightlife
- Tackling burnout in the hospitality and entertainment industries
- Sustainability in the night-time economy
- Intersectionality and diversity within the nightlife scene
A Versatile Birmingham Venue for Corporate Events
Hockley Social Club is renowned for its cultured events, live music, and outstanding street food, but this summit showcased the venue’s ability to be transformed into a fully equipped corporate event space. To accommodate the event, we provided:
- A fully covered marquee, ensuring comfort for attendees while maintaining the venue’s vibrant atmosphere
- Six dedicated panel stages, allowing for multiple discussions and workshops to take place simultaneously
- Silent Noize Events headphones, enabling clear communication and an immersive panel experience
- A selection of incredible street food vendors, including West Midlands Jerk Centre, Only Jerkin, Beef off the Block, and Filthy Burgers, offering a diverse range of flavours for attendees to enjoy.
Throughout the summit, Hockley Social Club became a hub of discussion and networking, proving that it is more than just a venue for live entertainment—it’s a dynamic, flexible space that can host large-scale corporate events.
