The conference venue you choose has a huge impact on how people perceive your event, their experience while they’re there and of course, your budget. When planning a conference, you need a space that offers flexibility and makes every delegate feel looked after. The National Conference Centre in Birmingham delivers all that and more, combining an excellent location, versatile facilities and exceptional service.
Location and Travel
If you want large attendance numbers, make it easy to get there. City selection matters, but so does where in the city your venue is. While a conference centre in the city centre might seem like the convenient option, parking is limited, expensive and difficult to find amongst traffic.
Why Is the NCC’s Location One of the Best Among Conference Venues in Birmingham?
At the NCC our location makes us not only one of the best conference venues in Birmingham but also in the UK. Being on junction 6 of the M42, we are 5 minutes away from:
- Birmingham International train station
- Birmingham Airport
- Our two sister hotels
That means your delegates can arrive quickly by road, rail or air as well as nearby accommodation choices.This prime spot is great for international travellers, people who don’t have cars and drivers who want to avoid city-centre congestion.
The words ‘free onsite parking’ is like music to any driver’s ears. Not only is our conference venue easy to reach, but we also offer over 1,000 free parking spaces, including electric car charging points. This provides unbeatable convenience for anyone driving in.
How Much Space Does the NCC Offer for Conferences and Events?
When you’re looking at a conference venue, you need to confirm the space fits your needs and guest numbers. The NCC offers flexible event spaces, with the ability to host both intimate meetings and large-scale conferences of up to 1,800 guests. Our two most popular and largest conference rooms are the Britannia and Imperial Suite. They both feature high ceilings, open layouts and adaptable designs, meaning your conference can go in whichever direction you want.
What Makes the NCC’s Venue Specifications Stand Out?
Is the venue suitable for a tech-enabled presentation? Well, you can be reassured that at the NCC, our conference venue in Birmingham is fully equipped thanks to our in-house AV and technical management team. With superfast 200 Mbps Wi-Fi and high-end audio-visual systems, you can focus on delivering your conference rather than logistics. Our venue’s high ceilings and adaptable lighting setups allow for creative production design. This makes us a top choice amongst conference venues in the Midlands.
How Does the NCC’s Team Support Your Event?
Depending on the size of your conference, event space is going to be really hard to come by if you don’t start preparing far enough in advance. However, at the NCC, we will always try our best to accommodate you. Our passionate events team goes above and beyond to make things happen. They understand how stressful event planning can be, so they work closely with organisers to accommodate every detail. Our 35 years of experience hosting everything from large conferences to product launches means delivering exceptional events is second nature to us.

Versatility is one of our greatest strengths at the NCC. Our venue can host everything from small business meetings and training sessions to major conferences, exhibitions, awards dinners and team-building days. With over 200,000 square feet of outdoor space, you have the freedom to combine indoor and outdoor activities. This flexibility sets it apart from many other conference venues in Birmingham.
