Visitor registration opens for the Conference and Hospitality Show 2017

Visitor registration and hosted buyer applications are now open for the Conference and Hospitality Show, taking place Tuesday, 4 April at first direct arena Leeds.

The Conference and Hospitality Show (CHS) is one of the UK’s leading events for venue finders, event organisers and PAs. Now in its eighth year, the show connects more than 200 national suppliers with over 800 event buyers from across the UK.

The city centre location makes it easy to attend and has helped to attract exhibitors from all over the UK – more than 200 venues, hotels, technology providers and many other meeting industry suppliers will be in attendance. Venues confirmed to date include Titanic Hotel Liverpool, Horizon Leeds, Feversham Arms Hotel, Elite Hotels, Lincolnshire Showground and The Lowry Hotel. Groups represented include QHotels, Marriott and Pride of Britain, while suppliers include Venues.org and Cvent.

More than 30% of exhibitors will be new for 2017 and include Hilton Worldwide, Principal Hayley, Church House Westminster, Jockey Club North West, Coventry & Warwickshire, Ripley Castle, Peak Venues, Teamsport and Right Angle Events.

Running alongside the exhibition is an education programme with sessions designed for event organisers, corporates and PAs.

The event has a well-established hosted buyer programme and offers qualified visitors the opportunity to be upgraded to fully hosted or VIP status. VIPs and hosted buyers do not have to commit to a number of appointments on the day – they simply come along and experience the show.

Emma Cartmell, CEO of CHS Group said: “The Conference and Hospitality Show gives buyers a time and cost-effective way to meet over 200 venues, destinations and suppliers all in one day, all under one roof.  We have a reputation for creating events with personality that our buyers genuinely benefit from and really enjoy.”
