The ICC welcomes the first major meetings industry event in 10 years to the city, as CHS Birmingham arrives

This is the first time the CHS Group have held an event outside of Leeds and Birmingham has been chosen due to its large exhibitor community, strategic location and fantastic facilities.

Ian Taylor, Managing Director, Conventions and Exhibitions said, “We are really excited to welcome the CHS Group to Birmingham. Events are a very important part of the Birmingham economy, and we think that by holding CHS Birmingham here, we can connect all elements of that economy with CHS’s brilliant work in the meetings and events business.”

“There is an increasing momentum in the city right now and real sense that our future is bright; not only because of the incredible infrastructure we have built to support the events industry but because of future events we have planned. We welcome the Commonwealth Games 2022 next year, which is a fantastic opportunity to tell our story on a global stage: this couldn’t be a better time for CHS to come to Birmingham and launch into the events community.”

CHS Birmingham will attract exhibitors from across the UK, made up of venues, hotels and suppliers of meeting products and services, along with numerous educational sessions and networking events including CHS Birmingham’s Education Programme featuring speakers from across the corporate, agency and association worlds.

Emma Cartmell, Managing Director, CHS Group said, “We are so pleased to be bringing this show to Birmingham. In Leeds; where our sister show runs, we have found that the city has real sense of pride and ownership of this event and we feel that we can establish that here in Birmingham.”

“The ICC offers an amazing location and brilliant team and we know this event is going to create a buzz in the city that we can all be proud of.”
