Equipment Hire for the CIPD Annual Conference

The CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition at the NEC Birmingham is the UK's largest event for HR, learning and development, and people management professionals. Over 3,500 delegates and 150 exhibitors attend across two days, making it the premier event in the HR industry calendar. Exhibitors include HR technology vendors, recruitment firms, consultancies, legal services providers, and wellbeing specialists.

Our EventPro® furniture range is built for multi-day professional conference exhibitions. The NEC sits close to our Birmingham depot, which means reliable delivery slots and competitive transport costs during the CIPD build-up.

Stand Furniture for HR Brands

HR technology and services companies exhibiting at CIPD need stands that communicate professionalism and approachability - the sector is relationship-driven, and buyers respond to environments that feel welcoming. Our chair hire includes contemporary upholstered options suited to the HR industry aesthetic. A sofa and coffee table creates an approachable meeting zone for longer consultations. Poseur tables at the stand frontage create natural stopping points for delegates walking the exhibition floor.

Demo and Meeting Tables

Our table hire range provides clean surfaces for platform demonstrations and software walk-throughs. A meeting table with chairs creates a structured environment for client briefings and new business meetings during the show.

Catering and Refreshments

Our coffee machine hire covers on-stand hospitality. For evening networking drinks, our wine glass hire covers the requirement. Our Send It Back Dirty policy applies to all glassware and crockery.

About the NEC

he National Exhibition Centre is located in Marston Green, Solihull close to both Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International railway station. Opened in 1978, it has gone through various expansions and improvements to become the internationally renowned exhibition space it is today.

The NEC has a total of 20 interconnected halls offering a total of 190,000 square metres (2 million square feet) of floor space. There are 16,500 parking spaces spread out around the site, with a shuttle bus operating to and from all the car parks. Construction of the HS2 railway project will see a new railway station at Birmingham Interchange built close to the NEC and connected to the exhibition centre by a people mover.

Along with the Resorts World Arena, which is located on the NEC site, the National Exhibition Centre is operated by the NEC Group. The NEC Group also owns and operates Arena Birmingham and ICC Birmingham based in central Birmingham. Previously owned by Birmingham City Council, the NEC Group was sold to private investors in 2015 and is now owned by American investment company Blackstone.

We can deliver exhibition hire directly to your stand – simply confirm your event, hall and stand number when placing your order and we will do the rest.
