The International Convention Centre Birmingham (ICC) is one of the UK's leading convention and conference venues, located in Brindleyplace at the heart of Birmingham city centre. The ICC's eleven halls and multiple meeting rooms host major national and international conferences, product launches, trade events, awards ceremonies and large-scale private functions. Birmingham New Street and Moor Street stations are a short walk away, with direct connections across the UK rail network.
The ICC is distinct from the NEC Birmingham, which is on the eastern edge of the city near the airport. The ICC sits in central Birmingham alongside Symphony Hall and the Arena Birmingham. Exhibitors, outside caterers and event contractors hire furniture and catering equipment from Expo Hire for events at the ICC Birmingham.
ICC events range from large international congresses to regional corporate conferences and trade events. For conference formats, conference chairs and rectangular tables suit theatre, classroom and boardroom layouts. For networking and exhibition areas within a conference, poseur tables and bar stools create informal meeting zones without consuming circulation space.
For events combining a conference with an exhibition or product showcase, Expo Hire can supply furniture for both the conference programme and the exhibition floor as part of a single order.
The ICC's halls are regularly used for large gala dinners, awards ceremonies and charity events. For seated events, Expo Hire supplies banqueting chairs, round tables, linen, crockery and glassware for outside caterers. For drinks receptions preceding a dinner, poseur tables and bar stools provide standing service areas alongside the seated dinner setup.
Outside caterers working at the ICC hire kitchen equipment to supplement their own kit. Chafing dishes, hot cupboards, water urns and bain maries handle large banquet service. For receptions, glassware, service equipment and jugs are the most common requirements. Expo Hire's catering equipment hire range covers the main items for ICC Birmingham events.
Expo Hire delivers to ICC Birmingham and collects after the event. Build-up and breakdown schedules vary by event, and Expo Hire can work to the organiser's access window when you book. Equipment arrives clean and ready to use.
ICC Birmingham is on Broad Street in Birmingham city centre. For delivery charges, see Expo Hire's carriage pricing page. For events with a fixed build-up window, book early to confirm delivery timing. For NEC Birmingham events, see the NEC Birmingham event hire page.
Expo Hire includes free Minor Damage Waiver cover on all orders at no extra charge. This covers minor breakages and small items of damage during normal use. Full details are on the Minor Damage Waiver Scheme page.
