Exhibiting at the NEC.

The National Exhibition Centre opened in 1976 and has 20 interconnected halls. It sits next to Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International station, near junction 6 of the M42. The site is run by the NEC Group.

Shows at the NEC

Trade shows at the NEC include Spring Fair, Autumn Fair, the Commercial Vehicle Show, InstallerSHOW, Highways UK, LAMMA, Multimodal, The Security Event and Automechanika Birmingham.

Before you build

  • Each show sets its own stand heights, rules and deadlines in its exhibitor manual. Custom and two-storey stands usually need plans and structural calculations approved well before build-up.
  • Build-up and breakdown times are set by the organiser, so the stand has to be designed to go up and come down in the time allowed.
  • Materials have to meet the fire safety standards set for the show, with certificates to prove it.
