There are hundreds of trade shows happening every week, there's something for everyone. Narrow down your search to a specific industry or date by using the filters provided. Interesting fact: the largest convention center in the UK is not in London. The NEC or National Convention Centre is located in Birmingham. The city boasts an excellent international airport that connects the city to the rest of the world. It's also very easy to access the NEC from the airport. The Excel in London is probably the best known event venue in the capital but there are other potential venues for mid size events or conferences.
