CHS Birmingham is back at the ICC on 29th October for a fourth year of bringing the best in the events community together by connecting exhibitors with venues, buyers, and suppliers from across the UK and Europe.
CHS Birmingham, in partnership with the ICC and Birmingham & West Midlands Conference Bureau, has announced this year’s theme of its award-winning educational content which will this year focus on How to Be an Event Organiser. This follows on from the theme of CHS Leeds – How to Organise an Event –
and the content will continue both the show’s back-to-basics approach, and its continued commitment to support growth for organisers, both professional and personal.
The programme will move away from the practical sessions that were seen at CHS Leeds earlier this year. In Birmingham, more focus will be placed on looking at how to best safeguard the event organiser role, and how this will support better outcomes for delegates at events.
Speakers and sessions for the educational content are continuing to be established in the run up to the event. These will include an Event Psychologist and an Intimacy Coordinator, who will bring insight and stories from some of the biggest film sets in Hollywood with her. Both sessions will look to share how event organisers can create positive cultures and environments for themselves, their teams, and their delegates.
“We’re so proud of our educational content, it’s one of the many reasons our visitors come to our show and we’re once again looking forward to introducing them to some really exciting, unique, and insightful sessions,” comments Lou Hindley, Commercial Director.
Visitors can expect to see a whole range of hotels, venues, and events suppliers that cover the north of England and Scotland. With exhibiting hotels ranging from the Hilton in Glasgow to the Grand Hotel in Birmingham, and plenty of locations in between, there’s bound to be a venue that suits no matter the location of your next event. If a hotel isn’t what you’re looking for, there’s plenty more to see such as NAEC Stoneleigh which is a unique exhibition and conference centre nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire, and Birmingham Museums, which provides unique venues across the city for your conference, exhibition, or function.
In 2023, the show saw a 28% rise in visitor attendance on the previous year, with 77% of them saying they would return in 2024, so the exhibition is set to be a popular day out for event profs once again!
