Birmingham is home to some of the UK's most important conference and exhibition venues, drawing hundreds of thousands of event delegates every year. Contact Media provides professional, fully managed onsite event badging across Birmingham — from the enormous halls of the NEC to the corporate suites of the ICC and Vox Conference Centre.
Birmingham Venues We Support
Our badging team has worked across Birmingham's major event facilities, including:
- NEC Birmingham (National Exhibition Centre) — one of the largest exhibition venues in Europe, hosting major trade shows, public exhibitions, and international conferences
- ICC Birmingham (International Convention Centre) — a flagship venue for professional and governmental conferences in the heart of the city
- Vox Conference Centre — a modern venue on the NEC campus, popular for corporate conferences and product launches
- Coventry Building Society Arena — increasingly used for large-scale conference formats and awards events in the West Midlands
- Edgbaston Stadium — a premium sports and business events venue with strong corporate conference facilities
We also support events at hotel venues, exhibition centres, and bespoke spaces across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region.
Built for High-Volume Events
The NEC and ICC in particular host events with thousands of delegates, where check-in efficiency is critical. Our system can support multiple simultaneous printing stations, each capable of producing a fully printed, QR-coded badge in under five seconds. Delegates scan their confirmation QR code, the system locates their record instantly, and their badge is printed and ready to go.
We integrate with Cvent, Eventbrite, Swoogo, Swapcard, and your own registration systems — so there's no manual data handling on the day.
Eco Badging in Birmingham
Our eco-friendly A6 badges are produced on recyclable card with pre-tooled lanyard holes, eliminating plastic wallets. Combined with our reusable lanyard programme and on-demand printing (only printing badges as delegates arrive), your Birmingham event will carry a significantly smaller environmental footprint than traditional pre-print approaches.
Lead Retrieval for Birmingham Exhibitions
If you're running an exhibition at the NEC or a trade event at the ICC, our Eventfull lead retrieval app allows your exhibitors to scan attendee badges and capture lead data instantly — no paper forms, no business card scanning delays. It's a seamless extension of our badging service, available as part of a combined package.
