Hotel operators, Cairn Group, plan to open a new conference venue in the centre of Birmingham in autumn 2016. 

The Birmingham Conference & Events Centre (BCEC) will be located in Hill Street and will encompass 2000 sq-mt of flexible space over two floors designed for conferences and events - both corporate and private.

The BCEC will include 20 conference rooms accommodating up to 1,450 delegates in total. The largest suite, the Mercian Suite, will accommodate up to 1,000 delegates or 750 for a dinner.

The meeting space will be fully equipped with the latest AV technology.

There will be six banqueting suites seating between 30 and 750 guests.

The BCEC will also incorporate a goods lift to facilitate product launches.

The BCEC will virtually overlook Birmingham New Street Station in the city centre. It will be connected via a covered glass walkway to the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre also operated by the Cairn Group.

Future plans for the BCEC include a rooftop bar and a state-of-the-art fitness facility.
