We learn how P&J Live provides immersive and sustainable events.

P&J Live opened in September 2019 and is Scotland’s newest live events venue. The £333m

venue was delivered by Aberdeen City Council in partnership with Henry Boot Developments and replaced the Aberdeen Exhibition Conference Centre (AECC). Since its opening, P&J Live strives to set new standards in entertainment, conference and exhibition event delivery.

What’s on offer?

The venue offers seven conference suites, three flexible exhibition halls, 11 meeting rooms and a 9,000sqm arena. These purpose-built conference spaces are spread over two levels, which aims to help event organisers plan and deliver a seamless event experience. There is also digital signage across the two levels to provide a clear route around

the venue, and sustainable branding opportunities.

With audio-visual equipment throughout, P&J Live strives to provide an immersive experience that captures delegates’ attention. Each exhibition hall benefits from carpeting, meaning organisers have less waste and makes for a shorter, more cost-effective build.

Sustainability

With an ever-growing demand for net zero carbon emission events, P&J Live has set new standards in sustainability, achieving a BREEAM rating of ‘excellent’ to become the most sustainable venue of its kind in the UK. The venue produces its own energy from a combination of food and agricultural waste from the venue and surrounding areas. This waste is processed in an anaerobic digestion plant, and the gases produced are transferred to the hydrogen fuel cell plant. The combination of these, in turn, produce hydrogen as a by-product, which provides all the heating, cooling and power for P&J Live and the two on-site hotels.

P&J Live’s commitment to sustainability is supported by its creative solutions, helping to minimise the overall carbon footprint of any event. From creative food packaging and sourcing to digital signage and recycling, these are some of the ways the team can help deliver a sustainable event. The team also work with key partners to ensure the overall event is being delivered to a high sustainable standard.

On-site, P&J Live has 7km of walkways and large open green spaces, where more than 29,000 trees and shrubs are planted, providing outside breakout spaces for delegates.

The versatility of the North East’s largest event venue has proved to be popular with prospective event organisers. Couple this with air, rail and road connectivity and 350 on-site hotel bedrooms, the venue has successfully welcomed conferences and events from a variety of sectors in its few short months of operation.
