The NEC, the UK’s largest event venue, offers 18 versatile event halls, 32 purpose-built conference suites and 186,000sqm of covered space, with blank canvases that are flexible, futureproofed and a perfect fit for events big or small. Whether you’re looking to host a smaller event for 10 or a larger event for 10,000, its flexibility, scale and expert team can make it happen, seamlessly working as one with your team.

At the NEC connections are built between audiences and events and between physical and digital worlds. The recent £7 million technology infrastructure investment reaffirms a commitment to ensure that the venue is the best connected venue digitally as well as physically.

The NEC is the first venue in the UK to adopt WaitTime, an artificial intelligence solution that provides real-time measurement of venue capacity and crowd density, and further enhances its data capabilities. Capacity counting is safe and sharper, compliant venue operations are maintained and the software provides robust crowd data and business intelligence information.

While there are many reasons for choosing the NEC, from its expert team and over 40 years of experience to its impressive green credentials, it’s the location that really set it apart from the competition. Quite literally, thanks to being a self-contained island. Its central UK position ensures you’ll always have maximum visitor reach for your event, while the unrivalled transport connectivity means it takes minimum effort for your visitors to get here.

THE NEC

Accessing the site is also easy, which makes build time quicker for your exhibitors and their contractors. Having both an international Airport and International Railway Station on the doorstep is always handy. While an on-site 24/7 entertainment complex is a guaranteed crowd pleaser.

The NEC has 2,000+ hotel rooms on site across 7 different hotels, so delegates can take a leisurely walk from hotel to venue. There are a further 2,000 hotel rooms immediately outside of the campus. Plus, there are 6,500 hotel rooms in Birmingham city centre, only 10 minutes away on the train.

There are also fresh opportunities to enhance your show content across the 440 acres of outdoor space including woodland and a bathing quality lake. The NEC has invested heavily in this area over the past few years, which has seen enhancements to our Lakeside Gardens, woodlands and the creation of a new beach front around Pendigo Lake.

Not only does this ensure your visitors have a place to recharge their batteries and relax while they’re here, it also enables you to put on outside events that wouldn’t be possible at most other UK exhibition venues. Best of all, as a self-contained private site you won’t have to deal with all the usual red tape associated with putting on an outdoor event. No road closure headaches or longwinded permission seeking required here.

MEETING SPACES

While the venue is packed with unique features, it’s the spacious foyer overlooking Pendigo Lake that generally generates the most oohs and ahhs. An ever-popular space for lunch and drink receptions, the foyer also has a number of large screens that can be used to outline your agenda, broadcast live sessions to an extended audience or as a useful sponsorship and promotional tool. Now on to food glorious food.

Few things are more likely to make or break an event than food. After all, it’s what keeps delegates energised throughout the day. It’s why the team ensure innovation is always on the menu, a view that’s shared by award-winning in-house catering partner, Amadeus. With over 40 years’ catering industry experience under their aprons, Amadeus understand the unique challenges of events and catering.

And, like the venue, they approach every brief the same – by treating it differently. Along with the venue’s sustainability credentials, it’s just one of the many reasons they’ve won over 650 industry awards.

Whether you’re hosting a drinks reception, team building activity or an awards ceremony, there is a beautiful outdoor space to fit the bill right here. Our favourites include…

FAZELEY STUDIOS

Walk just a short distance from Birmingham’s centre and you’ll discover Digbeth. Once home to blacksmiths and tanneries, it’s now the city’s creative heart with venues like the effortlessly cool Fazeley Studios injecting fresh energy into the area. In the venue’s stunning landscaped courtyard, guests can enjoy food al fresco or just mingle freely, taking a break from the usual conference format.

HOTEL DU VIN BIRMINGHAM

Set within a landmark Victorian building that is sure to impress any visitor, Hotel du Vin boasts a relaxed, informal courtyard space at its centre. Designed to accommodate up to 150 delegates for drinks receptions, or up to 100 seated, the space is ideal for all seasons thanks to a smart retractable roof. This peaceful courtyard space is the ideal place to bring delegates to unwind and get to know each other better.

IET BIRMINGHAM: AUSTIN COURT

A place for small gatherings, refreshing break out activities and informal networking, the courtyard at Austin Court offers delegates a sense of privacy with all the convenience of a city centre location.

On the spacious outdoor terrace, you can host up to 150 people, with a range of seating options, fresh décor and a balcony overlooking the city below making every delegate feel at ease.

THE MILL

Young and fresh, The Mill is known as something of a hotspot in the heart of lively Digbeth. For a great time, invite delegates to enjoy the atmosphere on the venue’s Roof Garden. From here, up to 350 standing guests can enjoy a drink from the tiki bar, along with incredible sky-high views of the city – it’s the perfect place to watch the sun set in good company.

THESTUDIO BIRMINGHAM

Packed full of dynamic event spaces, Thestudio Birmingham offers plenty of room for delegates to relax and socialise during a busy event. The real hidden gem here is the roof garden, tucked away beside the venue’s Atrium bar. As part of the venue’s large event space, Explore, the outdoor area offers a space to enjoy the natural world, with the convenience of adjacent conference facilities.

LIBRARY OF BIRMINGHAM

A beautiful roof terrace with panoramic views across the city, the Discovery Terrace at Library of Birmingham is a real showstopper. The space overlooks Centenary Square, giving delegates a stunning view of central Birmingham along with plenty of space to relax, network and celebrate in style.

Even better, they can enjoy the same experience all year round, with heaters and a retractable cover making the space just as comfortable come winter.

COVENTRY CATHEDRAL

As one of the most famous sites in the West Midlands, and a regular concert host, Coventry Cathedral provides an adaptable space which can’t help but make any type of event feel rather grand. In the floodlit ruins, delegates can take in fresh air and stunning architecture while you lay on anything from awards ceremonies to workshops, networking events, concerts, corporate receptions and more.
