Hello CHS - Creating amazing events that people want to be part of

30 September 2026 | AO Arena

20 years of building connections, fostering partnerships, and creating opportunities together. Now, we’re taking everything you’ve helped us build to Manchester.

After 15 incredible years in Leeds and 5 brilliant years in Birmingham, your events community is moving to Manchester. 

For 15 years, CHS has been the one-day event where event professionals connect with carefully curated venues, destinations, and event suppliers – combined with industry-leading education and the warm, welcoming CHS experience. Everything you know and love about CHS is coming to Manchester, with the space and infrastructure to make it even better.

This evolution is powered by you. Your feedback, your energy, your commitment to building something meaningful. Manchester gives us the platform to deliver even more of what you’ve told us matters most.
