Millennium Point
Millennium Point is an award-winning conference and events venue in Birmingham City Centre.
Our venue holds seven unique, flexible spaces comprised of both indoor and external locations with additional breakout areas. Our spaces are a mix of public and private, from fully furnished meeting and boardrooms to large open plan public spaces and a 350-seat auditorium. Millennium Point has a number of AV options including high-quality presentation facilities, lighting, staging and sound variants to ensure each event is delivered to exceptional standards.
Profits from our commercial activity as an award-winning venue and landlord go towards the Millennium Point Charitable Trust who invest back into the West Midlands region with projects, events and initiatives, which support the growth of science, technology, engineering and maths.
This means that a percentage of every event booking will go towards making an impact in the local region, as well as widening the CSR footprint of our clients. Since opening, our charitable trust has contributed more than £40 million to this cause.
