Great conference venue, short walk from the station and easy to get to. Free cloak room + luggage storage. Good food and refreshment options on the 2 days I was there. A bit more seating would have been ideal .

I really thought it was a very cool place...visited on the 1st of April to watch Shenyun production and I wasn't disappointed. There are plenty of paid parking options around here within a short walking distance to the venue. Prices are cheap too compared to where I was coming from :) We drove down so don't forget to pay the emissions charges...I believe it is charged on diesel cars only but please double check. Located in the heart of Birmingham city centre, it towers and at night time it glows beautifully. Lots of seating spots, bars, restaurants and fine dining within the ICC (anticipating long queues for buying food and drinks when there is an event, plan to arrive sooner if you plan to buy stuff). The theatre was very spacious and great size. Toilet facilities are available and ATM cash machines too...security personnel were also spotted around. Beautiful architectural buildings dotted around the ICC, Hyatt's Marriott hotel is next door if you are looking for somewhere to stay. Loved it and look forward to visiting again 🥰 P.S: apparently it's not too far from the train station as well😊

Great location on the canal with parking nearby. Quirky layout with lots of different staircases (lift not working). Seating was great with uninterrupted view of the stage for Shen Yun.

Just last week I attended a conference at the ICC. The venue is really nice as well as the whole Birmingham. I did not have the feeling of staying in a big city; it feels relaxed, not hectic like London, very green, interesting architecture and a very well managed combination of modern and old buildings. The canals offer relaxing walks while the busy shopping centers, especially around the Bullring (I am happy the bull on the picture is not alive) say this is a vibrant commercial city. I am mesmerised with the Central Railway Station - the structure changes its colour depending on the sun, makes reflections of its surroundings, and looks different from every angle. Discover Birmingham for yourself, it's worth the efforts.

Excellent events centre. Many facilities on site, including Starbucks and Subway for your food and drink on the go. It's also home to the Castle Fine Art gallery and the world renowned Birmingham Symphony Hall. Close to the many bars and restaurants in Brindley Place.

A great place to visit. With bars, a restaurant and many different halls holding events and exhibitions there is also symphony hall a major concert hall. The canal out the back is beautiful with bars and restaurants.

Beautiful and easy to navigate between halls and conference lecture. On the ground floor there are several stores where you can buy groceries and food on the go.

Yes worth ever penny got to see a lot of san francisco good information to what you were looking at would recommend it

Well sign posted, so easy to find. Helpful staff. Clean and tidy. Just be aware that Starbucks is card only. But plenty of options local for eating and drinking

Seen a lot of gigs and shows here. Great venue with excellent acoustics. Good bar & food outlets. These photos are from the Australian Pink Floyd. Great entertaining show!

Great venue for conferences. Very well signposted within the building. Plenty of toilet facilities and most of the toilets are clean. Conveniently located with plenty of restaurant and bar options around the Convention Centre. There is a Starbucks and a cloakroom within the convention centre as well which comes in handy if you need a quick bite or somewhere to store your belongings.

We came here to the Symphony Hall to see The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. I've been here many times before to attend: Graduations Cashflow meetups Conferences The staff are very professional, well mannered and always happy to help. The facilities are always kept clean. Perhaps the Gentleman's should be cleaned more frequently than the ladies as, men's bathrooms always stink.

I know there's a cost of living crisis going on right now but if you can afford an evening out to see an Orchestra perform, and you've never done so before... Honestly, do it! It's out of my comfort zone but I'm beyond glad that I did. There's nothing like hearing some epic movie favourites performed in such an acoustic and enchanting concert hall. Support the arts! (Edit: This was LOTR and Beyond, at the Symphony Hall)

I attended Symphony Hall which is inside the ICC .We attended the loose Women tour. There is a wheelchair friendly entrance and a lift if you need to go upstairs to the Symphony Hall. There is also a WHSmith inside the ICC.We had a fantastic night , the staff were all welcoming, friendly and helpful.

A very unusual and beautiful place. There are various cultural places, starbucks and a number of other establishments.

A nice conference centre with lots of expo and meeting room space. The main auditorium is huge, with great sound and extremely comfortable seating. A great central location in the city too.

The International Convention Centre is somewhat anonymous on the outside and the entrance (that we used) was not particularly impressive. Maybe we didn't experience the full wonder of the building, but we did spent quite a bit of time in the atrium, The Symphony Hall, the reception areas outside the Symphony Hall and some of the rooms on the other side of the atrium. The interior of the Conference Centre uses the steel structure as a design feature and is painted blue. The lifts and stairs fit in around the supporting structure and are glass sided so that the light and views within the building are not obstructed. The building is fully accessible and works well as a social space on a wet and windy day in late October. There were a lot of people in the building (OU Degree Conferment Ceremony), but it never felt too busy and the lifts and toilets never felt overwhelmed and there were no queues. The staff were lovely. I took the opportunity to ask about the building and also to get directions and the people I spoke with were friendly and seemed happy to be working there. It was interesting to get a perspective on what had been here and to understand a little bit about the people that lived and worked in the area. A really good venue and if I was still involved in booking conferences, hosting people from around the world, I would definitely talk to the people here. A good place to visit.

It's a big convention centre in Birmingham. If you're planning a big convention in Birmingham, it's a place you'll want to check out. It also has an art shop so if you're at a conference and you inexplicably want a large painting from a superhero comic then check that out too. Or maybe a print of a painting of a couple dancing on a beach. Or some weird colourful cows.

Amazing venue really well organised and helpful staff. Most amenities within walking distance, accessible and super convenient

First and last concert since lockdown 1! Mirga and the CBSO in fine fettle with Ligeti, Mozart and above all Brahms 3rd symphony. A concert that will live long in the memory! Thank you so much!

Great place to see a show. Seats are a bit on the small side, but a great theatres. Enjoyed the show and the staff were very helpful. We had the pleasure of a visit from Dan Walker too at the end of Anton & Erin's show!

Visited for a business event in October 2021, location was good overall but finding the parking was difficult, this may have been due to the many road closures at the time in central Birmingham however it was not well marked by the venue. Overall a clean and spacious venue born for the speakers on the main stage and also for the exhibition hall, with a friendly and helpful team.

Beautiful and nice place to host events in the City of Birmingham. Future visits would certainly enable me have a more detailed review. However, with the first visit I can affirm that it is indeed a place to host events of different types and you would like it. You should be here!!!

My First event at the ICC and was not disappointed. A very modern building with great views and a fantastic sound. My only gripe was the size and number of toilets. There was a queue throughout the entire 15 minute interval. Will definitely come back should a chosen performance be put on. Thanks for a great evening.

I've been to many convention centers. This one is the nicest.

Nice place to chill

Was closed

Although my seat was not in an ideal place to see the stage, (up on level 5a where I needed to lean right forward to see over the rail) I am in awe of the staff at this venue. I was unfortunately taken ill during a performance and my husband went to ask for help. The usher, manager, first aider and cleaning staff were amazing. I do love this venue, aside from their reactions to my needs, because the location is great, the seats are comfy (usually) and the sound is brilliant. I would recommend this venue to anyone, with or without disabilities.

I come here for Symphony Hall which is marvellous. It is regarded as one of the best in the world and it is the best that I had visited. Not as famous as The Albert Hall but the acoustics are far better. Also, the audiences for the classical events are there because they like the music not because it is the something to tick off their bucket list. So, they know not to clap between movements. If you are a classical music fan, go to The Albert Hall once because of its fame but come here as often as you can.

The ICC is Birmingham's artistic glass-lined red carpet. Grab a ticket, your friends & family, your senses and have a taste. It goes down smooth.

Went to see Shen Yun on New Year' Eve. It is an American company doing classical Chinese dance. It was very enjoyable however there was no dragon dances with lots of drummers etc. which was disappointing. The ICC seating was disappointing as we were on the side with good views of the stage but there is only one exit from each row which meant you had to climb over people to get out at the breaks. Outside the ICC is a well thought out retail section with lots of shops and eateries.

Went here for my daughters Graduation, and what a fabulous place it is! Amazing facilities all spotlessly clean, great staff very helpful. Very accessible and just a splendid environment to hold such a wonderful day!

The International Convention Centre is a 80s architectural building with multi levels and am open foyer with exposed steel beams set in the city centre of Birmingham. A short walk from New Street station, the centre is easily accessible and is also connected by a high level walkway to the Hyatt hotel and directly on Brindley place and Centenary square. It houses the wonderful Symphony hall, home to the CBSO and attracting many world class acts annually.

made a move here about 25 years ago the place was good and now it's better
