The UK events industry is getting a new flagship destination. CHS Manchester launches 30 September 2026 at the AO Arena, bringing a festival-style experience to the heart of Britain's fastest-growing business city.

Combining exhibition, education and experience, CHS Manchester will welcome 250+ UK and European venues, destinations and suppliers alongside event professionals from across the country. But this isn't just about meeting exhibitors – it's about experiencing what makes Manchester an essential destination for the events industry.

Attendees can expect curated educational content from leading industry voices, quality networking opportunities, and fringe events that showcase Manchester's vibrant events scene in action. From venue tours to evening experiences, the programme will demonstrate why major corporates, the BBC, and leading financial institutions have chosen to base themselves in the city.

Created in partnership with Manchester Convention Bureau and AO Arena, CHS Manchester taps into the city's collaborative business culture and creative energy. It's where serious business connections meet the personality and innovation that defines Manchester.
