Nordsjællands KonferenceCenter, known as NOKC, hosts seminars, conferences, company parties, receptions and weddings in Allerød, about 25 minutes from Copenhagen. A 230-seat auditorium and nine meeting rooms handle business days. A marble-floored hall takes receptions of 100 to 500 guests, and the hall and restaurant also serve weddings of 60 to 250 guests.
Seminars and company events
The meeting side of the centre is built around two formats. The auditorium has 230 cinema-style seats, each with a writing tablet, a lit table surface and a power socket. It comes with a 7 by 4 meter screen, headsets, a handheld microphone, speakers, a lectern with a PC connection, four interpreter booths and an operator room. That suits conferences with simultaneous interpretation.
The nine meeting rooms seat 2 to 86 people and can be set up in classic meeting style, for group work or for presentations. Standard equipment includes a projector and screen, whiteboard, flipchart, notepads, pens and wireless internet, and IT staff help with set-up. Meeting packages cover a full day, a half day or a morning or afternoon session, with coffee breaks, drinks and lunch from the in-house kitchen. Teambuilding activities are run with outside partners and can be added to a meeting day. Company parties and Christmas lunches are also held in the center.
Weddings and receptions
Receptions use the marble-floored hall, which has tall trees, a fountain and a skylight. The center quotes 100 to 500 guests, with a three-hour format that starts at 40 people and drinks charged by consumption. Tapas-style dishes are served to guests who stand and mingle. The hall is large enough for exhibitions, such as a car display or a trade show, according to the center.
Weddings take place in the hall or in the restaurant, which can be set with round tables. The official page gives 60 to 250 guests. The wedding package covers room hire, table setting and waiters, a welcome drink, a three-course dinner with wine, beer and soft drinks, coffee, drinks at the bar, a dance floor and a late-night snack. It runs nine hours, and Saturdays require at least 60 guests. A stage and speakers are available, and a DJ can be booked through the center. Weddings with other cultural traditions are handled through a separate offer called GoldenLux.
Rooms and capacities
The auditorium holds 230. The meeting rooms hold 2 to 86 people each. The hall takes 100 to 500 guests for a reception. The restaurant and bar are on site and can be used for private dinners and parties.
Catering
All food comes from the center's own kitchen. Meeting packages use fresh breakfast pastries, a lunch buffet and afternoon cake. For dinners the kitchen offers a three-course menu, a buffet or a sharing menu, and the restaurant manager chooses wines to match. The kitchen works with seasonal ingredients and adapts the menu to the program of the day.
