Royal Armouries • 25 March 2025

Huge shout out to the organisers and panellists/speakers at CHS Leeds - you all did such an amazing job putting this altogether and making the event finely tuned, interactive and most of all captivating. Everyone I met was thoroughly enjoying themselves and it was amazing to meet other like-minded people as well as learning from the opposite. A truly great experience and I cannot wait until CHS Birmingham!

CHS Leeds is one of my favourite industry exhibitions to attend. Its really easy as a hosted buyer to book appointments but you are also not tied in to 12 or 15 daily appointments meaning you get to network with your venue connections on the floor without clock watching. A really well organised friendly show that is just the right size to allow people to really make new and valuable connections.

I think you have just the right balance of suppliers, and the right size show. It felt busy without being too crowded. Also, the flexibility afforded by not having to fill a diary with appointments meant that I was able to explore stands that I wouldn't have known about.

CHS Leeds is always a great showcase for our organisation to meet with existing clients and agency partners in the North and we use this opportunity to invite our venue members to promote to this audience. We are always delighted to see our trusted partners and industry colleagues at this event. CHS offer a great platform for venues to exhibit at an excellent value for money fee and put huge effort into making sure clients and exhibitors all feel welcome and respected. Thank you for the efforts on the hosted buyer programme which helps us to plan organised appointments and complete research in advance.
