Dates and location

Advanced Engineering is held from November 4 to 5, 2026, in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

Overview

Advanced Engineering is a trade exhibition for the engineering and manufacturing community, with forums and networking alongside the stands. It is organized by Easyfairs and takes place once a year over two days.

The program is built around six tracks: advanced manufacturing and industrial machinery, R&D and design engineering, AI, digitalization and automation, people and skills, clean energy and net zero, and government, regional hubs and supply chain.

Visitors can attend CPD-accredited forums, watch live demonstrations, use networking lounges and book meetings with suppliers through an event app. An Innovation Gallery and Trail is part of the show.

Advanced Engineering is co-located with UK Metals Expo and Lab Innovations, and one badge gives access to all three.
