CHS Birmingham to open with welcome reception at BCEC

The Birmingham Conference and Events Centre (BCEC) will host this year’s much-anticipated Welcome Reception ahead of CHS Birmingham, which returns to the city for the second time, 1^st November. Similar to the main event, the party will be a celebration of the city of Birmingham, its heritage, creativity, food, and leading events industry.

The event will take place 31^st October, the night before the main show, and will follow in the footsteps of some well-remembered industry get togethers that have taken place ahead of CHS Event’s exhibitions. Guests will be treated to the full force of BCEC hospitality and creativity, with Black Country gangsters the theme of the event.

For them, it will be like walking back in time to the 1920s. There will be full theming throughout the venue’s main space and entrance, turning it into a large-scale pub, horse props, and with plenty of photo and selfie opportunities. There will also be themed food service stands, a mini shot bar, and table props.

Entertainment will include live music, themed food and drink, and a truly immersive experience with actors joining the party amongst the guests. There will also be a theatrical sequence at the end of the event with a memorable finale!
