CHS Manchester has confirmed a significant wave of new exhibitors for its 2026 launch event, underlining the show’s growing national profile and the confidence the industry is placing in the new Manchester-based supershow.
Among the latest brands to commit to the show are the QEII Centre London, Allianz Stadium Twickenham, Manchester Central, Hilton, Marriott Hotels, De Vere, Liverpool Convention Bureau, Legacy Hotels and Resorts, Meliá, Dakota, Countrywide Hotels, Horwood House, The Ned, the AO Arena, Marketing Manchester and VisitScotland.
The breadth of organisations reflects the scale and ambition of CHS Manchester. With venues, destinations and hospitality groups from across the UK joining the floor, the event is rapidly establishing itself as a national gathering point for the meetings and events community and underlines one of the key tenets of the show; ‘all roads lead to Manchester’.
The latest exhibitor announcements build on the strong momentum created since the launch of CHS Manchester, which will take place at AO Arena on 30 September 2026. The show was conceived as a ‘supershow’ for the sector, bringing together the warmth, personality and professionalism that defined its legacy events in Birmingham and Leeds, while scaling up to meet the needs of a modern, growing industry.
Emma King, Founder & CEO, CHS Manchester, commented:
“Seeing so many leading venues, hotel brands and destinations from right across the UK commit to CHS Manchester is incredibly encouraging. It reinforces what we set out to achieve from the start, a genuinely national show that brings the industry together in one place.
“The confidence our exhibitors are showing in the event is fantastic, but most importantly, it’s great news for our visitors. They’ll have the opportunity to meet, connect and do business with the best products and services in the industry, all under one roof.”
As momentum continues to build, the CHS team has also unveiled the brand-new CHS Manchester website. The refreshed platform captures the personality, energy and welcoming ethos that the show has become known for, while providing a clear window into what visitors and exhibitors can expect from its debut year in the city.
With leading brands continuing to sign up, a distinctive festival-style experience taking shape, and a national audience already engaging, CHS Manchester is fast cementing its position as one of the most exciting new events in the UK meetings and events calendar.
CHS Manchester takes place on 30 September 2026 at AO Arena, Manchester.
