The organisers of industry trade show CHS Birmingham say
they have introduced initiatives for this year’s event that will put delegate
welfare first and make the show ‘a nicer, more welcoming and safer place to be.’
The new
safety and inclusion measures include a meet and greet desk for solo arrivals; comprehensive
pre-event communication; flexible networking formats and a wellbeing room.
Staff-supported
arrival will also be available for delegates who request it and for those with
solo travel anxiety there’s ‘Bring Your Industry Bestie’ scheme.
CHS
Birmingham event director Michelle Rennoldson said the team wanted to make the experience
safer, more inclusive and less stressful for all attendees.
“We attend
all our educational sessions at the show. We’re like everyone else, we want to
learn, improve, and implement new ideas into our visitor experience, and
welfare is critical to who we are as an event.
“Our
industry thrives when people feel comfortable, valued and safe. We’re proud to
lead by example in Birmingham, showing how thoughtful design and clear
communication can create an environment where everyone can focus on connection
and content.”
CHS Birmingham,
will take place on 28 October at ICC Birmingham.
