So what are the benefits of being a bespoke conference venue? Fully soundproofed rooms for starters, which means your event remains yours and yours alone. Flexible spaces that give you the room to grow your event. Clear signposting to avoid any unintentional conference crashing. Dedicated registration areas. The list goes on. You’ll also find the ICC is incredibly accessible with street access to all of our key halls, plus three loading bays to keep build times to an absolute minimum.

Let’s be honest, you don’t want your delegates to spend all their time travelling and feel exhausted before they even arrive at your event. That’s where our handy central location and unrivalled transport connectivity makes all the difference. And with 90% of the UK within a 4 hour drive time of the ICC, most of our visitors enjoy the option of either travelling home after the event, or remaining in Birmingham overnight – whichever’s more convenient.
If you opt to stay the night, you’ll have a choice of over 6,500 hotel rooms. Luxury ones, cost-effective ones, historic ones, the choice is entirely yours. To help find the best local deal we recommend using the handy online HotelFinder service. You’ll also save a small fortune on taxi and bus fares during your visit, as everything from museums and bars to street dining and spas can all be found within minutes of our front door
Our location
At the ICC, we believe great events have the power to change, to inspire and to connect people and ideas in a uniquely collaborative way. But more importantly, we’ve got the evidence to back it up. Over 30 years’ worth in fact. And we’d love to make a difference to your event too.
On average, we host around 400 events a year, welcoming over 350,000 visitors from across the globe in the process. It’s our job to ensure every single one leaves feeling alive with excitement and possibility. That’s where the game-changing experience of our instinctive in-house teams comes into play.
However, it’s not just our venue and experts that bring people together. It’s the fact we’re bang in the middle of Birmingham, which means getting to us is a breeze from all corners of the UK. Getting visitors to go home is a touch trickier though, as Birmingham’s absolutely booming with more retail opportunities, posh nosh and vibrant hotels than ever before.
