Where exactly is the NEC?
NEC, Birmingham B40 1NT — next to Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International rail station, a few minutes from Birmingham city centre by train.
Do all shows on this page happen at the NEC?
The large majority do — the NEC is the dominant venue for the shows we book in Birmingham. Each show's own page confirms its actual venue.
How do I book rooms for a group or exhibitor team?
Open the specific show, then use its booking form for up to 9 rooms. For 10 or more, request a group quote and our reservations team will confirm a block rate directly.
Do hotel rates change closer to the show dates?
Yes — group-block rates typically rise as a show date approaches and rooms sell out, so booking early generally secures the lowest rate.
