About NEC
In 1976, HM The Queen officially opened the NEC in Birmingham. The NEC has grown in size and notoriety and it has become one of the UK’s primary venues for event organisers, exhibitors and visitors by choice. The NEC initially housed seven exhibition halls – where as to date they house 19, and in addition to this they offer 34 conference suites and numerous outdoor spaces.
For 40 years the NEC has faced challenges, been questioned and propelled itself into exhibition industry to ensure they continue to grow and move with the times because only by doing so can they ensure their exhibitors and visitors can too. It’s an approach that is solid, and the NEC now hosts to over six million visitors and 500 exhibitions each year.
