CHS Group has partnered with beam, the association representing the business events, accommodation, and meetings industry, to ensure first-time visitors and industry newcomers feel welcomed and supported at CHS Leeds. As part of the initiative, the beam Buddy Station will be positioned next to the registration desk at the Royal Armouries, the host venue for CHS Leeds. Members of the beam board will be on hand to offer guidance, introduce visitors to key exhibitors, answer questions, and help industry newcomers confidently navigate the event. Joe Evans, beam Membership Director, who will be part of the beam Buddy Station, said: “Regardless of how long we’ve been in the industry, we all remember the nerves of attending our first big event. The business events community is incredibly welcoming, but it helps to have a friendly face to guide you. We’re delighted to partner with CHS Group on this initiative to ensure that industry newcomers feel at home and get the most from their experience at CHS Leeds.” Clair Whitecross, Sales Director, CHS Leeds, added: “CHS Leeds is set to be bigger, better, and more engaging than ever. As the event grows, we’re welcoming more first-time attendees, and we want them to feel empowered to make valuable connections and take full advantage of the opportunities available. “Overcoming imposter syndrome, shyness, or the challenge of not knowing where to start can make all the difference. With beam’s support, we’re excited to provide a warm welcome and a helpful hand to those new to our industry.” For more information on CHS Leeds, please register here.

Registration for CHS Leeds 2025 is now open as the organisers of the show look to continue the momentum following another successful CHS Birmingham, earlier in the autumn. CHS Leeds will return to the Royal Armouries, with the exhibition taking place on Tuesday 25th March 25. Once again, the team behind the show will be promising the right mix of personality and professionalism, but also a similar level of activity as demand for new information from event organisers is higher than ever. CHS Birmingham saw pre-arranged meetings up 16% on last year; now, more than ever, exhibitors are ready to fulfil RFP’s immediately at the show, satisfying the urgency for information from buyers. CHS Leeds recently announced the theme of the 2025 show, ‘Welfare’, a subject that is already gaining interest throughout the events community. Welfare will be reflected through the show’s educational and content programme, with conversations around understanding Martyn’s Law, inclusivity, wellbeing and care for delegates and event teams. As the registration for the show goes live, Lou Hindley, CHS Leeds’s Commercial Director, commented, “We all know that events are about momentum, and this series has caught the wave of enthusiasm and positivity from both our buyers and our exhibitors. We’ve combined this positive energy with subjects and conversations that really matter to event professionals, and we look forward to welcoming the northern events community to CHS Leeds 2025 in March. CHS Leeds will take place at the Royal Armouries, Leeds, 25th March 2025. To register, visit https://chsleeds25.eventreference.com/register.
