The Liner Hotel in Liverpool hosts conferences of up to 500 people theater style, meetings in six dedicated rooms, private dinners and weddings of 20 to 250 guests.

Seminars and company events
The Britannic Suite is the main event space and one of the largest in the city centre. It holds up to 500 people in theater layout, and built-in partition walls let the room divide into three sections for smaller meetings with breakout or refreshment space. The suite is self-contained, with a cloakroom, a foyer and reception area, a private bar and washrooms. It includes a stage and lectern, a PA system with roaming microphone, a 12 foot projector screen, flipcharts and delegate stationery. It has individually controlled air conditioning and heating and adjustable lighting.
The adjoining Mauretania Bar has a long foyer that works as an arrival point, an exhibition area or a catering space. The hotel can arrange more equipment for a fee, including LCD projectors, flat screens, lapel microphones and PA systems.
Six meeting rooms are grouped on the lower side of Deck 2, each named after a famous ocean liner. They include air conditioning and heating, blackout blinds, high-speed Wi-Fi, a wall-mounted projector screen, a whiteboard and flipchart, and a water cooler.
