Exhibition stand builders at ICC Birmingham.
The ICC is a conference-first venue with ten halls and an attached exhibition footprint, which makes it the natural home for association congresses and multi-track corporate conferences. We produce the plenary, run the breakout programme and manage the exhibition floor as one delivery.

Halls and layout
Hall 1 handles the largest plenaries, with Symphony Hall available for keynote-scale sessions. Halls 3 to 9 support parallel tracks, and the exhibition footprint sits alongside the catering concourse so sponsor traffic is built into the delegate route.
How we build here
For multi-track congresses we standardise the breakout technical spec so the same crew and kit list serve every room, which cuts both cost and the risk of a room-level failure mid-programme.
Venue rules that shape the design
- Rigging and power ordered through the venue's appointed contractors
- City-centre get-in with timed vehicle access
- Breakout room turnaround times are set by the venue and shape the programme
- Symphony Hall has separate technical and access arrangements
ICC Birmingham — questions we get asked
What does a conference at the ICC Birmingham cost to produce?
Expect £40,000–£160,000 per conference day for full production, depending on plenary scale, the number of parallel tracks and set complexity. Congresses running three or more days see a materially better per-day rate.
Can you run a nine-track programme?
Yes. We standardise the breakout technical spec across rooms and staff each with a crewed position, so the programme runs to time without duplicating kit or cost per room.
Do you manage sponsors and the exhibition floor?
Yes — sponsor packages, stand allocation, exhibitor manuals, build management and on-site coordination are all handled alongside the conference production.
