European Athletics Championships Observer Programme 2026

We’re excited to have you join us for the European Athletics Championships Observer Programme 2026! This portal is your hub for securing accommodation while joining us on the 2-day programme.
 
The Observer Programme forms a key part of UK Sport’s Events Knowledge Transfer Programme, bringing together event professionals from across the sector to share best practice, gain strategic insight and develop technical expertise. Through behind‑the‑scenes access, venue tours and sessions with delivery teams, participants learn directly from real‑time operations and explore the core themes that shape major event delivery.
 
Alongside this, the programme offers valuable opportunities to connect with peers, exchange knowledge and observe live event operations in action – making it an exceptional platform for professional growth and collaboration.

Through this website, you can book up to nine rooms (subject to availability), modify or cancel your reservations online up until 12 July 2026. After this time, please contact the Birmingham & West Midlands Convention Bureau directly.

For groups of 10 or more, please complete the Group Accommodation Enquiry Form below.
