Birmingham and West Midlands Conference Ambassador Network
The Birmingham and West Midlands Conference Ambassador Network is a platform for the region’s greatest minds and leaders to work together in pursuit of a common goal – to attract the world’s leading association conferences to the region.

How can we help?
The Birmingham & West Midlands Convention Bureau’s purpose is to promote Birmingham and the wider region as a leading destination for business events. One of the ways we can do this is to work with you as a Conference Ambassador to attract leading association conferences.
We CAN offer all the support you need to bid, win and deliver a truly remarkable event. We will work with you from start to finish: from researching the event and submitting a note of interest to finding a venue and bidding for the event, right through to supporting on accommodation booking for delegates and assisting with marketing support.
Our Conference Ambassadors play an integral role in attracting their association conferences to Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Become an ambassador today. Together, we CAN do it.
