WARNING: HOTEL BOOKING SCAM

It has come to our attention that there is a scam operating around hotel accommodation bookings at the NEC Birmingham.

Company calling itself EXHIBITION HOUSING SERVICES has been approaching delegates/exhibitors purporting to be the official hotel booking agency for the show.

We have discovered from fellow exhibition organising companies, that other trade shows’ exhibitors have also been approached in similar fashion.

Unfortunately this entity has been operating in this manner for years and the authorities do not seem to be able to deal with them.

We would advise you if you are contacted by EXHIBITION HOUSING SERVICES, do NOT under any circumstances make a booking with them or give any credit card details.

DISABLED VISITORS

The NEC aims to be fully accessible and user-friendly for disabled visitors. Click here for a quick guide to some of our the NEC facilities – if you would like to know more, please contact the NEC.

Access: If you have a disability or any additional needs which require specific provisions or assistance to present, please inform the team of your requirements as soon as possible by calling 0207 0134564.
