The Advanced Engineering event is free to attend at the NEC in Birmingham on 2026-11-04 at 09:00, featuring various speakers and exhibitors from the engineering and manufacturing sectors.

If you work in engineering or manufacturing, Advanced Engineering is the one event worth putting in your diary.

It's not just a conference or trade show. It's two days away from your desk, surrounded by the people, technologies and ideas that are genuinely moving the industry forward across aerospace, automotive, defence, energy, medical, electronics and more.

At a time when industrial resilience, supply chain security and sovereign capability have never mattered more, Advanced Engineering brings the right people into the same room. SMEs meet OEMs. Innovators meet investors. Technologies find the commercial pathways they need to scale. From dual-use technologies and friend-shoring strategies to the net zero transition and the future of high-value manufacturing, the conversations happening here are the ones shaping what comes next.

But perhaps the most valuable thing you'll take away isn't what you came looking for. It's the supplier you didn't know existed, the emerging capability you hadn't considered, the partner that changes the direction of a project. That's what Advanced Engineering is for.
