From working with the venue, looking at ourselves and collaborating with exhibitors. But here’s the thing… Visitors’ travel is the biggest carbon emitter of each show. So we need your help. Taking the train instead of driving will reduce the emissions of your journey by around 80%. The NEC is a 5 minute walk from Birmingham International train station or 90 seconds by the free air-rail walk. If you need to drive, car share with friends and reduce your impact by 50%. There’s a great network of cycle and footpaths in the area and bike racks are near the entrance. There are also electric car charging point and more to come in the future…

The NEC have advised us that National Highways will be closing the M42 between Junctions 5 and 6 this weekend for road improvement works. This may impact your journey as there will be a short diversion. Birmingham International train station is just round the corner from the show in Hall 1 and you may want to consider travelling by train rather than driving, depending on where you are travelling from. Further details can be found here on the NEC website with details on alternative routes – https://www.thenec.co.uk/visitors/travel-updates/. If you are coming to see a specific speaker, we would advise you allow some extra time to get in and parked. If you are driving, then we also advise you book your parking in advance as it’s much cheaper than on the day – this can be booked here –https://parking.thenec.co.uk/NECBirminghamBooking/Booking/SearchParking.
