The Venue – Birmingham NEC
We’ve chosen the NEC for our event to help set a precedent for a professional business feel for the show as our main goal is to attract trade visitors and have our exhibitors make the vital business connections needed for continual growth in this budding market, with an added bonus of retail customers in attendance. The NEC boasts fantastic convenience in an array of nearby hotels, restaurants, and shopping in the form of Resorts World. Ample parking space and a host of transport links with BHX airport, and Birmingham International Station just a stones throw away! This is all to help provide peace of mind for our exhibitors in their plans to showcase their business at our show.
