Welcome to the ICC Birmingham. If you’re looking for a venue to host your upcoming Association that has an enviable reputation, an experienced team and an unbeatable UK location that offers a fresh and exciting destination for your delegates, you’re in the right place.
The ICC has been welcoming events for over 30 years, so no matter the size or requirements, we’ll be ready and waiting to welcome your Association, working in partnership with you to deliver an exceptional event every time.
For any event to be a success it needs to pack out the room, generate infectious word of mouth and have everyone wanting to return before they’ve left. And we understand that it’s not just the venue that draws the crowds, but the host city too. Luckily for us, we’re smack bang in the middle of Birmingham, a city full of confidence, ambition and entrepreneurial spirit. Retail and financial powerhouses, award-winning architecture, advanced engineering and culinary excellence. It’s fair to say Birmingham continues to be a city that never rests on its laurels – always leading the way, setting new standards and pushing forwards to show the world that it’s one of the most diverse and ambitious cities in Europe.

On average, we host around 400 events a year, welcoming over 350,000 visitors from across the globe in the process. It’s our job to ensure every single one leaves feeling alive with excitement and possibility. That’s where the game-changing experience of our instinctive in-house teams comes into play.
However, it’s not just our venue and experts that bring people together. It’s the fact we’re bang in the middle of Birmingham, which means getting to us is a breeze from all corners of the UK.
