Academic Venues in Birmingham

Academic venues can make excellent hosts for a variety of personal and corporate events, such as meetings, conferences, wedding receptions, and private parties. In Birmingham in the West Midlands, there are several of these types of venues which can offer you room hire at competitive prices. One such example is the modern Bournville College Conference and Events Centre which is one of the most favoured academic venues and conference venues in the Longridge area of the city. There are five function rooms (which also act as flexible meeting rooms) to pick from which can accommodate up to 200 guests. Whether you wish the events team to create you a bespoke package or you’d prefer to pay fixed rates for room or venue hire, you choose either option all-year-round. Another of Birmingham’s most popular academic venues comes in the form of Conference Aston, which is situated within the grounds of Aston University in Birmingham. It prides itself on being a centre of excellence for conferences, meetings, and training, and offers on-site accommodation as well as more than thirty meeting rooms.

Event professionals across Birmingham and the West Midlands are preparing to welcome CHS Birmingham as the industry recognises the impact of Birmingham on the UK, and international, event industry, while celebrating the fourth outing of the show in the city. Strategic Brand Partner, Birmingham and West Midlands Convention Bureau and Founding Partner, ICC Birmingham, have been instrumental in the show’s growth since its inception in 2021, and have seen the event flourish in the region with more new exhibitors and buyers attending than ever before. Steve Knight, Senior Business Tourism Manager at West Midlands Growth Company, commented, “We look forward to welcoming delegates to the fourth edition of CHS Birmingham. The event will provide another valuable opportunity to bring event organisers to the West Midlands to meet with our venues and destinations and experience first-hand why the region is at the forefront of the UK’s business events sector. Steve continued, “Whether it’s political conferences, pioneering medical exhibitions or professional sports meetings, the West Midlands is a proud host with a proven track record of putting on successful events. This region is accessible, creative and welcoming, with world-class facilities and exciting new developments – this is an important exhibition in our conferencing calendar, and we can’t wait to tell our story to CHS Birmingham delegates, encouraging them to consider the West Midlands when placing their next event.” Meanwhile, Andy Gibb, Managing Director for Conventions at the NEC Group, said: "We're so pleased to be hosting CHS at ICC Birmingham again. This is the fourth year CHS Birmingham will be hosted at the venue and it's a testament to the whole city. We look forward to welcoming fellow event industry professionals far and wide to showcase what Birmingham has to offer." Commenting on the show’s unique partnership with the city, Lou Hindley, Commercial Director, CHS Birmingham, added: “Birmingham is a unique city in the UK’s events industry, and has been the centre point of international events for decades. It has fantastic venues and hotels, creative agencies, suppliers and partners. It’s no wonder we’ve always felt so welcome in the city, and we are so grateful for the support of everyone in the industry across Birmingham and the West Midlands. We can’t wait to be back on the 29th October.” CHS Birmingham opens its doors 29th October at ICC Birmingham, with the Welcome Reception taking place the evening before at IET Birmingham: Austin Court.
