The Mermaid Conference & Events Centre

Here at The Mermaid, we realise the importance of learning from the experiences of others in our industry. To help us do that, we are active members of numerous Associations and industry bodies.

The MIA is the UK’s principle trade association for the conference, meeting and events industry. Their main aims are to encourage and support excellence and raise ethical standards within the industry. As a member of the MIA, The Mermaid has agreed to adhere to the Meetings Magna Carta, a collection of the best practice principles that are at the heart of what the MIA stands for. A full version of the MIA Meetings Magna Carta is available on their website.

Eventia is a network of organisations that provide business solutions through the use of events, and brings together some of the most dedicated professionals in the events and live marketing industries. Eventia promotes the highest standards of professionalism and best practice in the industry, offering members strong visibility, recognition and credibility within the market through a series of support services.

Visit London is the official visitor organisation for London and offers world-class marketing expertise. Their partnerships programme is aimed at all businesses and provides a range of benefits not only for partners such as The Mermaid, but also for our visitors.

The HBAA represents a collective industry voice for both agents and hotels and venues for the best practice in the procurement and booking of accommodation, conferences, events and training sessions.

AIM

The Mermaid is delighted to confirm that they have passed the entry process and working towards the Silver Level of AIM which provides the meetings industry and its buyers with a universally recognised indicator of quality for meetings space and services. AIM is relevant, not only to hotels, but to conference centres, all other styles of venue and very importantly, meetings industry suppliers. The scheme is effective because it encourages continuous improvement across three levels, Entry, Silver and Gold. Achievement of each is dependent on attainment. Entry level is compulsory for all MIA members.

The London City Selection comprises of hand-picked group of venues from within the City of London working together to raise the area's profile as a business-events destination.
