Edgbaston Park Hotel is pleased to announce it has joined Academic Venue Solutions (AVS), becoming part of the not-for-profit network dedicated to supporting and enhancing academic conferences, meetings and events. 

Located in the heart of University of Birmingham campus, Edgbaston Park Hotel is a leading destination for academic conferences and events, offering flexible event spaces and a dedicated team to bring your next event to life. As a certified B Corp, the hotel is committed to responsible business practices, sustainability and creating a positive environmental and social impact. By choosing to host events at Edgbaston Park Hotel, delegates also support the University’s wider mission, with hotel profits reinvested back into the University to support ground-breaking research and innovation. 

Billy Harris-Wright, Director of Commercial at Edgbaston Park Hotel, said: ‘We’re delighted to join the AVS network and strengthen our support for the academic events sector. We look forward to working collaboratively with AVS and their clients to continue creating exceptional event experiences while showcasing everything Edgbaston Park Hotel has to offer.’

Rachael Lee, Membership Director from Academic Venue Solutions said: ‘I am absolutely delighted to welcome Edgbaston Park Hotel, a subsidiary of University of Birmingham to the AVS community. They really are a fantastic fit for our network. From the moment we met the team, their genuine ‘can do’ attitude, passion for what they do and commitment to delivering exceptional customer service really stood out. They don’t just provide amazing venues; they go above and beyond to create outstanding experiences for every client. 

As our membership continues to grow, now reaching 52 incredible venues, it’s important that every new member shares the values that make AVS so special. Edgbaston Park Hotel does exactly that, and I’m thrilled to have them on board. I know they’ll be a huge asset to both our members and our clients, and I’m excited to see what we’ll achieve together.’ 

This membership marks an exciting step forward for Edgbaston Park Hotel as we continue to strengthen our connections across the academic events sector, champion sustainable events and deliver memorable experiences for event organisers and delegates.
