As event organisers continue to balance tighter budgets, evolving delegate expectations and the need to deliver more with less, CHS Manchester is bringing together an exhibitor line-up designed to help them do exactly that.

The inaugural show will welcome an impressive mix of international hotel brands, iconic venues, destinations and specialist suppliers, giving visitors the opportunity to compare options, discover new ideas and build relationships with the people behind them.

Global names including IHG Hotels & Resorts, Hilton, Marriott Hotels UK, Meliá Hotels International, Treehouse Hotels and Dakota Hotels will be joined by renowned venues including Allianz Stadium, Magna, ODEON, The Jockey Club Venues and Renaissance at Kelham Hall.

Meanwhile, destination partners including Destination Milton Keynes and West Midlands Growth Company will showcase their regions, while specialist organisations including Conference Works, Sterling Event Group, Bright Vision, Venues of Excellence, Axxiom Hospitality, Kingfisher Hospitality, RBH Hospitality Management, Manchester Metropolitan University, Legends and Mad Swans complete a line-up that reflects the breadth of today’s events industry.

Emma King, CEO of CHS Manchester, said: “There is a real energy coming from our visitor community ahead of CHSA Manchester this year. They have events to fulfil, they want to do business, and they’re coming to the show to get things done. I’m so pleased that we have the exhibitors, the people and the personalities to meet this demand, to fulfil some big expectations from planners, and create real momentum in the industry. It’s a great line-up.”

Alongside the exhibition, visitors can also take advantage of a packed education programme and networking opportunities delivered with industry partners including NOWIE, beam, mia, SITE, Fast Forward 15 and Evolve, ensuring every conversation extends beyond the exhibition floor.
