CHS Group

CHS is where the UK events industry comes together. Founded in Leeds and built over 15 years across CHS Leeds and CHS Birmingham, CHS has made its name on community, face-to-face connection and putting event planners in front of the venues, hotels and suppliers behind their events.

In 2026, CHS Events merged their two shows, to produce CHS Manchester - the UK's largest events industry show outside London, with 300+ venues, hotels and suppliers and vetted buyers from across the country. Featuring education, networking and a fringe programme that goes well beyond the show floor.

Running year-round alongside the flagship show is the Inspirational Venue Roadshow (IVR): six one-day, one-night events across the UK. Each one connects vetted event planners with 21 hotels and venues through pre-scheduled one-to-one appointments, then hands the evening over to the host venue. Planners spend the day meeting venues and the night experiencing one.
