The conference venue finder
that searches everything.
Not just a database.
Venue finder websites show you what pays to be listed. Our conference venue finder briefs a named expert who sweeps the whole UK market — hotels, conference centres, universities, stadia, private members’ clubs — benchmarks the rate against today’s market and sends proposals the same day. Free to you, paid by the venue.

What a conference venue finder actually does
A conference venue finder takes your brief — delegate numbers, dates, format, budget, location — and returns venues that fit, with availability and negotiated rates already confirmed. The difference between a venue finder website and a venue finding service is who does the work: a website gives you a search box; a service gives you a person with buying power.
Jigsaw Conferences has run a free conference venue finding service since 2003. Every brief triggers a full market sweep across 25,000+ venues, including conference centres and unique spaces that never list on marketplaces, followed by live rate benchmarking so you know the proposal is competitive before you see it.
Conference venue finder vs venue finder websites
Coverage
Websites search their own listings. We search everything — on-platform, off-platform and venues that are not yet open.
Rates
Listings show rack rate. We benchmark daily and won’t be beaten on a like-for-like quote.
Effort
Websites hand you 40 tabs. We hand you a shortlist, availability held, with a named expert on the phone.
Cost
Both are free to the organiser — but only one negotiates on your behalf.
Conference venues we source, by format
Board meetings for 12, training suites for 30, product launches for 250, AGMs for 600 and multi-day residential conferences for 1,200+. Theatre, cabaret, classroom, boardroom and hybrid set-ups with AV, breakout rooms, accommodation blocks and delegate day rates (DDR) negotiated as one package.
Conference venue finder by UK city
Our venue finding team works UK-wide and internationally. Start with a city page or brief us directly and we will sweep the market for you.
Total market sweep
Others search a database.
We sweep the entire market — then negotiate it.
Marketplaces can only show you what pays to be listed. Our venue experts sweep on-platform, off-platform and unopened venues, benchmark every rate against today's market, and come back with proposals you can sign — not a shortlist you still have to chase.
Every brief = a full sweep

Every brief triggers a market sweep across our sourcing network — hotels, unique spaces, stadia, private members’ clubs.
Unopened & off-market venues
Pre-launch openings, private estates and spaces that don’t list anywhere. If it exists, we’ll find it.

Live benchmarks on day-delegate, room-hire and F&B rates — the leverage behind every negotiation.

Venue, rooms, rail and crew logistics negotiated together. One expert, one plan, one invoice.
Access our buying power
We won't be beaten on a like-for-like quote.
Two decades of volume across 25,000+ venues means we know today's real rate before the venue quotes it. We monitor industry rates daily and negotiate up to 45–60% off venue rack rates on selected dates — passed straight to your budget.

Straight answers.
Is the conference venue finder service really free?+
Yes. Venues pay Jigsaw Conferences a commission from their marketing budget. You pay nothing, there are no booking fees and no obligation to proceed.
How is this different from a venue finder website?+
A website searches its own listings. Our team sweeps the entire market — including venues that never list — negotiates the rate and holds availability for you.
How quickly will I receive conference venue proposals?+
You get an instant acknowledgement and benchmarked proposals the same working day, typically within hours for UK briefs.
Do you find conference venues outside London?+
Yes — Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Glasgow, Bristol and every UK city, plus international destinations.
Can you arrange site visits?+
Yes. We arrange, and where useful host, free site visits for your shortlisted conference venues.
What information do you need to start?+
Approximate delegate numbers, preferred dates or month, city or region, and any must-haves (AV, breakout rooms, accommodation, budget).
