All the space you need<br />

F<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g a venue that suits you is what we do best. With so many potential solutions<br />

<strong>in</strong> and around the city, the perfect one is wait<strong>in</strong>g. At the hub of the nation’s<br />

executive meet<strong>in</strong>g rooms, The ICC offers outstand<strong>in</strong>g facilities,<br />

accommodat<strong>in</strong>g 8,000 delegates <strong>in</strong> the bustl<strong>in</strong>g canalside area.<br />

On a similar scale, the National Indoor Arena (NIA) has become<br />

one of the most sought after sport<strong>in</strong>g and enterta<strong>in</strong>ment venues <strong>in</strong><br />

Europe, yet it also hosts major trade shows and conventions.<br />

Millennium Po<strong>in</strong>t is a unique, futuristic environment for sem<strong>in</strong>ars,<br />

2008 was a landmark year for<br />

The ICC, and the city. First it<br />

welcomed the Labour Party for<br />

its Spr<strong>in</strong>g Conference <strong>in</strong> February<br />

then the Conservative Party<br />

Conference <strong>in</strong> September. Both<br />

reflected the remarkable pull<strong>in</strong>g<br />

power of the city to attract major<br />

headl<strong>in</strong>e events.<br />

On a different scale<br />

For every major, <strong>in</strong>ternational conferenc<strong>in</strong>g facility <strong>in</strong> Birm<strong>in</strong>gham,<br />

atmosphere ready to turn to your advantage. Venues of this<br />

my team of the task of secur<strong>in</strong>g and manag<strong>in</strong>g accommodation<br />
