CHS Rocks in Birmingham

November 10, 2021

The inaugural CHS Birmingham show took place in the UK’s ‘first city for events’, bringing hundreds of event professionals from across the country

The Eastside Rooms hosted its official cross-industry launch party earlier this week under the theme; The Great Big Take Off. Over 450 event professionals attended the event, which saw international food stations, a full gala reception, and even a plane in the main halls of the venue.

Leading creatives, commentators, event designers and brands will headline the educational programme at this years’ inaugural CHS Birmingham Show, taking place 26th October at the ICC Birmingham.

The Meetings Show has launched a new certification for event and meeting planners, who are looking to drive their organisation’s sustainability strategy. The online six-week Complete Sustainable Events Course, which is curated and delivered by isla’s co-founder Anna Abdelnoor as well as other sustainability experts, covers key areas from purpose-driven events, supply chains and stakeholders, carbon footprint and food to waste management and storytelling.

CHS Birmingham has agreed a strategic partnership with the West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC), which will see the region’s investment and tourism promotion agency support the show’s hosted buyer programme, accommodation hub and Welcome Reception, and provide hosting for media at the event.
