NEC
I used to have to go to the NEC. I must say I always loved going. It used to be an hour and a half drive, so we could actually go for the day without it being too expensive. However, now when we need or want to go, we have to search for Birmingham Hotels? which more often than not are full.
The NEC is the biggest conference center in the UK. If the event is in more than 1 or stretching it 2 halls, you need more than 1 day (unless you specifically know where you want to go). Best advice I can give is wea comfortable shoes, take stickers and cards with your details? and take a trolley bag for samples, cards and papers.
Enjoy your conference.
