Go to Brighton. It's nicer than London, on the sea, easy to get to from
Gatwick, and has more pubs per head of population than any other town in
Britain (I think, or maybe it was more pubs per square mile). It has
conference facilities for all sizes (although I've no idea how booked up
they get). And it's 55 minutes from London by train.
