In October Millennium Point is set to hold the Business of Science Conference 2021, celebrating the commercialisation of science along with the BoS Innovation Awards for inspiring students. The event that has been running for four years and looks to discuss topics such as science, innovation, and sustainability. With a range of speakers including Millennium Point’s own Abbie Vlahakis, the day is sure to engage and inspire attendees.
What are the BoS Innovation awards?
Previously held in Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool it is now celebrating in the heart of Birmingham at the award-winning venue Millennium Point. The BoS Innovation Awards has the aim of encouraging students to create and dream big on ideas that could solve future problems.
Judged by a panel of five their idea will be tested on five qualities:
1. Quality
2. Aesthetic
3. Use and function
4. Why it deserves to win
5. Ambition

A Great Day for Science
2019’s primary school winners Maddison Gregory and Nayla Gazzal impressed previous judges with their idea ‘Scan-Tastic – We scan your plastic’ and with this year more innovative submissions are due to be seen.
With the judging date closing on the 7th September the finalists will be invited to the Business of Science Conference at Millennium Point where their project poster will be displayed throughout the day and where a winner will be chosen. Along with an award, the 1st and 2nd winners get a financial prize to be spent in their school for resources to further support their STEM education.
There are three categories that innovative students can enter in, Primary, Secondary & 18+ ensuring everyone can get involved to create ideas to help for the future.
As a strong supporter of STEM, Millennium Point are excited to get involved
At Millennium Point we believe that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is important for the future of the region and as a multi-award-winning venue with multiple event rooms, it will be a great space to hold the BoS Conference 2021.

Abbie Vlahakis, CEO of Millennium Point said:
“The industries of the future are either STEM focused or underpinned by STEM as demonstrated by the UK Government’s industrial strategy in 2017 which set out 4 key industries: AI and Data Economy, Future of Mobility, Clean Growth, and Ageing Society, all of which embody STEM skills.
In the UK we are currently facing a skills shortage in STEM which is only set to increase as UK job opportunities in STEM are set to double over the next 10 years. At MPT we do not see this as a problem but as an opportunity, not just for the UK economy but also the opportunities it presents to positively change the lives of many of the UK’s most deprived communities. For our young people and their families, the results could be life changing.
It is for this reason that we are delighted to host the Business of Science Conference 2021 at Millennium Point which highlights the amazing opportunities in STEM and the remarkable ways in which UK STEM leaders are solving many of the World’s problems. These are the role models for the next generation.”
All profits made from commercial activities that take place at the landmark building are donated by the Millennium Point Charitable Trust to invest in STEM projects and organisations to help Birmingham and the wider regions. Yearly we invest more than £4 million back into the region, find out more about how our grants help STEM here.

We hope you had the time of your life at ‘Dirty Dancing with Cocktails’.
We’d like to say a massive thanks for attending our recent event: Dirty Dancing with Cocktails last Saturday. We hope you thoroughly enjoyed your experience of watching the film on the giant screen in our newly refurbished Auditorium.
We were delighted with how the event unfolded, beginning with the fantastic trio performance in Platform, to the tasty cocktails and the main event on the big screen. We look forward to seeing you again at Millennium Point in the not so distant future, in the meantime you can keep up to date with our upcoming events by visiting our What’s On page.

How to make the themed cocktails
As promised by our friends at The Wine Events Company, the instructions below explain how you can recreate each of the four Dirty Dancing themed cocktails at home.

Kellerman Cooler
What you need:
- 60 ml white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 15 ml good vodka (cheap vodka will be the only thing you taste)
- 15 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 12.5 ml elderflower cordial
- 15 ml orange juice
Stir the above ingredients in a tall glass with cubed ice and top up with a dash of Sprite or 7UP, to sit on the top with a sprig of mint to garnish.
‘I Carried a Watermelon’ Daiquiri
What you need:
- 40 ml white rum, we used Barcardi
- 20 ml Aperol
- 20 ml sugar syrup (buy ready-made or make your own 50/50 sugar and water brought to the boil and left to cool)
- 20 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 50 ml watermelon juice (one large watermelon will give you approx one litre of juice – blitz it and the sieve it but you can buy watermelon juice in cartons)
Pop all the ingredients into a shaker, do the ‘mashed po-tater’ with your shaker, pour into a martin glass, tumbler or small wine glass, top up with crushed ice and add a piece of watermelon to the rim or a Haribo Watermelon Sour.
Thyme of My Life
What you need:
- 15 ml runny honey
- 15 ml sugar syrup
- 50 ml white rum
- 20 ml freshly squeezed lime juice
- 25 ml apple juice, not from concentrate
Add the above ingredients to a tall glass, stir well and then add ice. If you add honey to a glass with ice you’ll have a sticky lump in your glass that won’t dissolve. Top with a splash soda. Use a sprig of thyme to garnish but not before giving it a few slaps in the palm of your hand to release the oils and aromatics from the herb.
Nobody puts Baby in the Corner .. Star Martini
What you need:
- 40 ml vanilla vodka, we used Absolut
- 20 ml Passoa
- 15 ml Monin passion fruit syrup
- 20 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
Shaken vigorously over ice, poured into a martini glass and served with a shot of … Babycham.

What’s a virtual event?
Virtual events are 100% online with no physical presence at the event. For example, this could be an online conference, presentation or webinar, where attendees watch via an online platform such as YouTube or Vimeo. An example of this type of event is demonstrated below.
What’s a hybrid event?
Hybrid events are slightly different to Virtual events, they combine physical attendance with an online presence. This allows for greater audience numbers as additional attendees can join virtually and enjoy the same content as the physical attendees. Hybrid events allow the same interaction within an event such as Q&A, whether your watching in person or virtually. An example of this type of event is demonstrated below.
Why choose one of these packages?
Virtual and Hybrid conference solutions are incredibly attractive in 2021. Pandemic aside, they offer greater flexibility to your event by minimising issues such as travel and accessibility due to being available remotely. They’re also less affected by local or global events, so less risk of postponing or cancelling your event.
You will reach a wider online audience. This not only gives your event more gravitas but gives you access to more data and insights, which helps grow your business and keep stakeholders happy. Lastly, this makes sponsorship more lucrative and therefore your event more attractive to sponsors or investors.
Explore our hybrid and virtual conference solutions today and see how we can help you make a big come back to events.
