The ranking secures Edgbaston Stadium’s coveted spot on the globally recognised ‘Top 50 Meeting Venues’ list on the Venue Directory platforms. Its inclusion reflects its commitment to delivering exceptional corporate event experiences and exceeding client expectations.
The inaugural list from Cvent-owned Venue Directory ranks top-performing Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) hotels and venues that prioritise planner collaboration to ensure business event success.

This is reflective of our strong-held commitment to consistently deliver the best guest experience, whether that be through meetings, events or conferences.
“As the home to Warwickshire Country Cricket Club, Bears and Birmingham Phoenix, our world-class sporting heritage alongside outstanding stadium facilities, allows us a unique position that attracts visitors and delegates from across the globe. As a Midlands-based business, we are proud to be a world-leading venue and hope this announcement helps to further showcase the brilliant strengths and spirit of our region.”

"Attendee expectations are higher than ever, and event organisers, with limited resources, seek collaboration with venues that understand their client needs, offer competitive pricing, demonstrate responsiveness, and foster trusted relationships. Congratulations to Edgbaston Stadium on achieving this remarkable recognition."
