Your Guide to Hiring Conference Venues in Birmingham

Second only to London in population size, Birmingham is one of the UK’s most diverse cities and has a thriving population of professionals, which has led to many high-quality conference centres and meeting facilities appearing across the city. Also, its location in central England makes it a prime spot for meetings and business event spaces, served by the impressive Birmingham New Street station and smaller railway stations, trams, and buses. Reachable from almost every corner of the UK, it’s often used as a midway meeting point for businesses all over the country while also being able to welcome guests from abroad via Birmingham International Airport.

Whether you’re after something central near the New Street railway station or convention centre in Greater Birmingham, with Tagvenue, finding the perfect conference space is as easy as 1-2-3.

How to Pick Conference Venues

  • The venue size – Pick a space that’s not too small (and not too big) for the attendees you expect. We’re listing large convention halls, corporate venues, and smaller meeting rooms, so you’re sure to find something for your needs – whether you’re inviting 30 or 3000 guests.
  • Accessibility – Our smart search engine makes it easy to find conference venues with disabled access. Make sure to check the business event spaces that have transport links and parking facilities nearby.
  • The event date – Having a few dates in mind makes finding a venue available at that time much more manageable. Also, check whether there are other major events taking place at the same time. For example, if you’re organising a tech meetup, you don’t want it to overlap with a hackathon in the same city.
  • Extra facilities – Go through your conference agenda and note all the features you may need, such as screens, whiteboards, flipcharts, audiovisual equipment etc. Ask the venue manager in advance which facilities they can provide.

Apart from its location, one of the reasons for Birmingham’s popularity as a destination for conference spaces is its diversity. The city’s conference venues come in all shapes and sizes. The most popular ones include:

  • Hotel conference venues – Quite often, the attendants come from abroad, so it’s a common practice to look for conference rooms with accommodation. Responding to this demand, numerous hotels in Birmingham offer conference facilities for hire. Many of them are home to state-of-the-art restaurants, too – so you can arrange a conference dinner to remember.
  • University conference venues – Widely known as a student city, it’s no surprise Birmingham boasts a considerable choice of university conference venues. Lots of them are beautiful, historical buildings with a unique charm. These spaces are good for more than just academic activitiesthey make a great fit for business meetings, too.
  • Birmingham Airport conference facilities – Birmingham Airport is one of UK’s busiest airports, serving more than ten million passengers annually – and the numbers are rising rapidly! Unsurprisingly, conference venues close to this major transport hub are in big demand. Many of them are hotel venues that offer accommodation as well.
  • Large conference venues – Planning a massive function, and your guest list keeps growing longer and longer with every passing day? With our platform, you can find a Birmingham venue that’s big enough for your needs. Our picks include conference halls and presentation venues.

Good planning is essential when hosting a successful business conference, design meetup or any other gathering.

Quick Tips on How to Organise Your Conference

Booked Telford Room at IET Birmingham: Austin Court
We loved the location, the staff were brilliant, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The catering was excellent, had a good selection, and was served in a lovely manner. We had use of the theatre and 3 break out rooms and all were of a high standard. Eliana and Angie are the organisation's wonderful support team! Kim who looked after the AV: was really excellent. Responsive, calm, fast and helpful. Really helped the event go well. We would be happy to recommend the IET to others, and I'm sure our delegates would do the same as we got great feedback from all of them.
