You’ll find us clearly signposted from all motorways and major routes including the M42, M40 and M6 - just pop B40 1NT in your sat nav to get to the NEC Site.
Our post code will not take you to the car park for your event, so once on site, please ignore your Sat Nav and follow signage to the event carpark instead.
After parking, simply jump on our free shuttle bus, or take a leisurely stroll along our signposted footpaths.
Keep up to date with what’s happening on the roads – plan your journey in advance and find out the latest traffic information when you’re here, available on the National Highways website.
You won’t even need to brave the elements. Direct services run all day, however if you’re travelling from further afield you may need to catch a connecting train at Birmingham New Street, which is less than a 15-minute journey away. Just enough time to fuel up on caffeine!
For more information, visit National Rail or call them on 08457 484950.
Simply take the free and fast air-rail link to Birmingham International Railway Station located at the upper level of Terminal 1. The train runs every two minutes and only takes 90 seconds. When you arrive just head straight through to the NEC.
Our central location? Our unbeatable transport connections? Our flexible spaces? All great reasons of course, but we believe it’s because we truly understand the unique challenges that come with running an exhibition. Like the need for immediate credibility on a launch, the need for reassurance of relocating an event, and ultimately, putting on a show that has your community coming back for more.
Conferences and live events are about so much more than just bringing people together. They’re about making everyone feel energised, excited and engaged from the moment they arrive to when they head back home – whatever the event. That’s where the NEC’s expertise in events can help you achieve all your aims, whether it’s a major conference or product launch, or a last-minute meeting. Our team of experienced specialists love to bring live events to life. It’s what we do. We work hand in hand with your own team to transform your ideas into reality and to make it all happen.
