BTG Eddisons to headline Place Party
BTG Eddisons will take top billing at AO Arena on 1 October for a spectacular evening to celebrate the success of the Northern property industry.
Andy Thompson, director, BTG Eddisons Property Auctions, said: “Place Party is one of the must-attend events in the North West property calendar. A place where the deals get discussed and relationships are built.
“We’ve stepped up to headline sponsor level because we want to be right at the centre of those conversations, particularly as we introduce our refreshed brand. It’s not just about visibility; it’s about demonstrating our commitment to the region and the relationships that underpin everything we do.”
After 10 years spent mainly at the Kimpton Clocktower (known as The Principal Hotel before that), the biggest date in the property calendar will begin its next decade in Manchester’s famous concert arena.
A £50m makeover in 2024 saw the AO Arena upgrade its hospitality offer and standing area on the central floor of the arena for large business dinners such as Place Party.
Tables start at just £2,100+VAT for 10 people. Premium tables, at £2,950+VAT, enjoy extra drinks packages, the best seats in the house and advertising in the programme and on Place North West.
Guests can expect live music, dancing, fine food and the best quality networking in the industry, with acres of time to make your away around the room without fear of interruption by awards and tiresome speeches. All with more space than ever to work the room.
Place Party 2026 is sponsored by Kuits, GIA, Curtins, alongside headline sponsor BTG Eddisons.
Paul Unger, founder and publisher of Place North West, said: “The peerless auction experts at BTG Eddisons know a thing or two about getting people in a room – as do we – and it feels apt to welcome them on board for our biggest event of the year. We would like to thank BTG Eddisons for joining the party and look forward to delivering a fantastic night together in October.”
Before then, BTG Eddisons will also be joining the lineup of Place North partners at UKREiiF in May, sponsoring the arrival drinks on Tuesday 19 May.
