Conference Facilities
Founded in 1660, the Royal Society's purpose is to promote and advance the understanding of science, technology and engineering worldwide. Many eminent scientists have been elected as Fellows of the Society including Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Ernest Rutherford, Albert Einstein, Dorothy Hodgkin and Stephen Hawking.
For over 300 years, the Royal Society has held some of the most important events in the scientific world, which makes it uniquely equipped to ensure your event is a truly memorable occasion. Whether it is a small meeting for 10 or a major conference for 300, we have the experience and the commitment to exceed your expectations. All of our events must communicate science and many of our clients enjoy the kudos that this scientific venue brings to their event.
The Society is based in Carlton House Terrace overlooking The Mall and St James's Park. Our central London conference facilities are easily accessible by public transport. Designed by John Nash in 1827, this Grade 1 listed building has recently undergone a major refurbishment programme to provide first class meeting and dining facilities, with state of the art audio-visual services. Facilities for the disabled are available.
We are also proud to introduce the Kavli Royal Society International Centre, our new residential conference venue based in North Buckinghamshire. This venue has been established as a prestigious centre for scientific excellence and may be used by other markets for a variety of events including meetings, conferences, away days, weddings and other social events.
Chicheley Hall was built between 1720 and 1724 and is regarded as one of the finest examples of early 18th Century architecture in the country. The Hall has been redeveloped to allow the building to be used for conferences and events, with two lecture theatres, four meeting rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms amongst its facilities.
Conference Organisation
At the Royal Society, we believe that clients should spend their time looking after their delegates and leave the operational details of the day to us.

After years of holding some of the most prestigious national scientific events at the Royal Society, we have an unrivalled experience in making your event that little bit more special.
