Well connected and highly affordable - England's West Midlands
|
|
England’s West Midlands region is both dynamic and beautiful. Lying in the heart of the United Kingdom it is also easy and affordable to reach from all over the world.
The main city destinations in the region include the thriving business and cultural centre of Birmingham, the fascinating city of Coventry and the centre of the world’s most famous pottery manufacturers, Stoke-on-Trent.
For a stunning contrast combine these with leading university town Warwick, home to one of Europe’s most majestic medieval castles, or Stratford-upon-Avon, birthplace to the legendary William Shakespeare.
The region is home to several of England’s largest International Conference Centres including the ICC in Birmingham, the Ricoh Arena in Coventry and the Telford International Centre.

Trevor Crawford, Ipex 2010 Event Director, concluded:
"For the eighth time, the vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Birmingham will host this major international exhibition. The city is perfectly placed to host IPEX - its a central location in the UK and has a major airport close by for international attendees. There's also a great variety of attractions which means our visitors are able to make the most of their time here, both in and out of the exhibition"
