Why Birmingham?
Connected to everywhere, but so unlike anywhere else in the world, Birmingham is the beating heart of the West Midlands and the second biggest city in the UK. In Europe’s youngest city, curiosity is everything.
Our people are powered by creativity, building on an incredibly rich local heritage while sharing bold new ideas which will shape our city for years to come. And they’re not just ideas – this is a place where things get done. You can see it in our industrial past, we see it in our future, filled with innovation.
In Birmingham, everyone is welcome, so however long you stay, it will feel like home. Once you’ve experienced the city at its best, you may never want to leave. That is precisely why Birmingham has become the biggest centre for business events outside London.
