Birmingham is a popular city in England known for its metropolitan character. Right from architecture to education, the city plays host to many aspects of civilisation. Chief amongst them is Birmingham’s reputation as a first-class meeting place where delegates from across the borough congregate. If you’re looking for a meeting place in this city, here are some options for you:
- Conference Aston
Located within the dynamic campus of Aston University, this venue is known widely for its range of conference rooms which cater to all groups. There are more than thirty conference rooms with the larger ones built to host 100 to more than 250 delegates while the smaller rooms can accommodate anywhere from 4-100 guests. Your delegates can make use of the breakout area to stretch or access the delegate lounge. Furthermore, you can access the sports centre which houses the swimming pool as well as a gym.
- Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport
This is the ideal meeting room in Birmingham if you have delegates flying in. It’s also convenient for the delegates driving in or taking the train. The Lancaster Suite can host up to 600 people that makes it one of the largest conference spaces in the city. There are 14 other fully-equipped conference rooms with varying capacities. The catering service ensures that all your delegates feel refreshed and well-fed during the hours of meeting.
- Jaguar Experience
A conference here is an experience in itself. The world-renowned brand of British origin will enthral the delegates. Once the meeting is over, you could take your guests on a surreal tour to show them just how a Jaguar is made. You may want to steer clear of this venue as it will surely take away the delegates’ focus away from the agenda of the conference and direct it to the magnificent premises.
- Town Hall Birmingham
One of the most stellar venues around, the artistically designed Town Hall has played host to many famous people over the decades. The 2007 makeover has resulted in quality seating, latest AV equipment, brilliant acoustics and lighting. The venue can accommodate up to 600 attendees with catering or to 920 attendees without catering. The Circle Bar along with the Lower Bar can be converted into breakout rooms, buffet or networking area.

- The Saffron Centre
With 5 meeting rooms, the total capacity of the venue is 500. If you are looking to fulfil your corporate social responsibilities, then rest assured that by booking this venue, you are supporting the local economy. The air-conditioned meeting rooms can accommodate 5-40 people each while the bigger conference rooms can play host to nearly 50-450 delegates.
