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.
