EventsHere is a large conference venue in London. It is part of the HereEast development at Stratford.
What is HereEast?
HereEast was originally the Olympic 2012 Media Centre and is made up of two vast warehouses that were used by 20,000 journalists during London’s Games. It has been transformed into a large meeting place in London for creative and digital businesses, with a footprint of 1.2 million square foot. HereEast tenants are a mix of SME’s and large corporates, like BT Sport. Described as a “digital campus”, the aim of this £100m project is to combine the clout of multi-nationals with the innovation associated with starts up. These businesses are supported by links to related education establishments, like UCL, Loughborough University and a local Hackney Wick college.
