CHS Leeds is a firm fixture in the MICE tradeshow calendar, and the largest MICE exhibition outside of London. It is a one-day exhibition showcasing the very best destinations and suppliers within the UK. 

The format of pre-scheduled appointments as well as networking allows for natural relationships to be made. Educational sessions are run throughout the day for buyers and there are additional networking opportunities available through the welcome reception and post-show reception.

Dates & Location:

23 April 2024, Leeds, UK

Who should consider attending?

This is the perfect platform for regional properties, DMOs, or independent venues targeting the UK market. Buyers are hugely interested in venues which may be unknown to them or with a unique offering. Accessibility remains key, therefore, suppliers with strong links to the North of England would be welcomed by buyers. Venues and destinations with sustainable credentials are vital.

Who will you meet?

Buyers are recruited from the North of England, Midlands, and a small number from London. All buyers are pre-qualified, and all hosted buyers (working more than 60 minutes from the venue) have a minimum of 4 appointments to make with exhibitors. CHS Leeds is a strong show to meet both independent and larger MICE agencies, corporate event planners, venue finders, Executive Assistants, and UK Associations.
