ICC Birmingham, Hall 1

For over 30 years the ICC has provided a location that not only brings people together, but sparks real change. Our multi-level venue offers a choice of flexible halls and suites, which when coupled with our private foyer spaces creates an exclusive setting that always feels inclusive. And because we’re based slap bang in the centre of Birmingham we offer unrivalled connectivity with 90% of the UK able to get to us within four hours.

So why choose the ICC? We understand that it’s one thing to bring people together, but quite another to make them feel connected. We also understand your need to pack out your event and deliver an occasion that makes some real noise and leaves your visitors feeling uniquely captivated. And that’s where our game-changing experience comes into its own.

We believe that behind every successful event is a rewarding partnership between a venue and an organiser. An alliance based on trust, grounded by insight, yet positively fizzing with creativity. And such partnerships can only happen when collaboration is embraced from start to finish. So working as a dedicated extension of your team, the first thing we do is cut out all the unnecessary fuss and faff and focus on keeping things as simple as possible.

Next we identify what’s going to make your event truly ownable and memorable. After all, it’s more fun to innovate than imitate. We’ll discuss whether our whopping 3,050m2 exhibition Hall 3 or smaller spaces are the right fit, and pinpoint where our in-house graphics and production teams can use their expertise to deliver outstanding stand out. We’ll also get our award-winning in-house catering team Amadeus involved, who with 650 pieces of silverware under their aprons understand how to serve up menus that raise smiles and energy levels alike.

Then of course there’s our handy central Birmingham location. Not only is it easy for your audience to get to the ICC, most won’t feel exhausted from a lengthy trip when they arrive. Should they wish to stay over, they’ll have their pick of over 25,000 rooms. Not to mention a delicious choice of award-winning restaurants, retail powerhouses and cool attractions right on the doorstep. Hardly a surprise that Birmingham has a £12 billion visitor economy and continues to attract the country’s top talent and businesses.

Across the ICC and our sister venues the NEC and Vox we offer a massive 80 years of combined experience offering reliable, credible and trusted support. And every member of the team has a hunger and determination to compete and deliver results. Because here at the ICC events are more than simply our lifeblood – they’re our passion.


From opening ceremonies and plenary sessions to car launches and keynote presentations, our impressive tiered auditorium makes it seriously easy to achieve serious stand out. The lower stalls can seat up to 600 delegates, so are ideal for events of any size, or for breakout sessions for larger events.

In terms of tech, Hall 1 includes an immense stage with a 28-metre high fly tower, 500-channel computerised stage lighting system and sophisticated audio equipment. As ever, full soundproofing is a given, as is the expert support of our in-house technical team. What’s more surprising is the fact the stage also offers direct vehicle access.
