I am an experienced trainer who has been to literally hundreds of event spaces all over the world, and I was more than impressed with Factory Forty.

Most importantly, the training rooms are super light and airy, and furnished in quirky and unique ways. When running a 2 day workshop, this really helps improve participation. It's rare to get this much natural light in any hotel or conference centre.

Beyond that, the guys who run the place are fantastic. Constantly going out of their way to make sure you have everything you need.

As opposed to stuffy event managers, they genuinely want to try and help out anyway they can. It has the air of a family business, which is so refreshing.

My only minor gripe would be that the location is a bit out of the way and not the nicest, and there are no hotels nearby, so you will be relying on taxis to get to or from the venue (or the number 50 bus from Midi station). With that said, for a training session I also think it works in your favour to get people 'away', so this could also be seen as a benefit.

I had a nosey around the coworking spaces and they looked pretty cool.
