Venue

We’ve listened to member’s responses and we’re moving away from London in 2018 to a central UK location to hold the conference in the Victorian splendour of The Birmingham Council House Banqueting Suite. If you’ve not been there before, it’s amazing and a lovely change from modern ‘soulless’ conference centres. Right in the centre of Birmingham, the good news is that it’s just a few minutes walk from New Street Station and has masses of car parking nearby.

Local Accommodation

The conference is not residential, however to support members and guests who will find it convenient and enjoyable to have a stop-over in Central Birmingham, to enjoy fine dining, culture and shopping. Great advance booking rates are available from the following city centre hotels:

Travel

Unless you are local we recommend travel by train to Birmingham New Street Station – the venue is only a few minutes walk away. If you’re travelling by car there’s masses of local car parking.
