Question 1

Is Birmingham really cheaper than London for comparable events?

Accepted Answer

Consistently yes, and the difference is bigger than headline day-rates suggest. Hotel rooms during conference weeks run 30-45% less, evening venue hire drops similarly, and delegate travel costs fall when you're within 2-3 hours of every major UK city. For a 200-delegate two-day event, we typically save clients £15,000-£25,000 versus an equivalent London programme.

Question 2

How close are venues to New Street, Moor Street and the airport?

Accepted Answer

The ICC, Hyatt, Symphony Hall and the Library are all a 5-10 minute walk from New Street. Moor Street serves Marylebone-bound Chiltern trains and sits next to the Bullring venues. Birmingham Airport reaches the NEC and Resorts World in under 10 minutes by train. We tag every venue's walking time from the nearest station in our shortlists so your delegates never get surprised.
