IMHX 2027 at the NEC Birmingham: where to stay

The 25th edition of IMHX lands at the NEC in Birmingham from 14 to 16 September 2027. It is the UK's flagship gathering for supply chain, intralogistics and materials handling professionals, drawing hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of trade buyers across three days. On the show floor you can see the latest automation, robotics and logistics technology in action, launch products, meet suppliers directly and work through the operational problems your business is facing. A CPD-certified seminar programme tackles AI-assisted logistics, sustainability and warehouse strategy. Entry is free for trade visitors, with registration opening closer to the event. The NEC is served by Birmingham International rail station and the M42, so day trips are workable — but many attendees choose to stay over for the evening networking. It pays to book accommodation early. September is a busy month at the NEC, and hotel rates in the surrounding area climb steadily as IMHX approaches.
