Smart Manufacturing Week

Welcome to the UK’s Largest Manufacturing and Engineering Event.

Smart Manufacturing Week is the UK’s largest festival of advanced manufacturing and engineering, bringing together manufacturers, technology providers, industry leaders, and innovators to explore the latest developments shaping the sector. With Smart Factory Expo, Design & Engineering Expo, Drives & Controls, and Maintec all under one roof, it’s the complete manufacturing ecosystem in a single visit, giving you a wider view of the technologies and strategies driving the industry forward than any single show could offer.

High-Quality Audience, Hands-On Learning, Cutting-Edge Technology.

The event is designed for manufacturing professionals, engineers, operations leaders, plant managers, designers, and business decision-makers seeking to enhance productivity, adopt new technologies, and stay ahead of industry trends. Beyond the exhibitions and conferences, you’ll get live technology demonstrations and hands-on learning alongside powerful networking and business development opportunities, with suppliers on hand to showcase solutions and connect directly with potential customers.

With more than 13,500 delegates, 450 exhibitors, and 200 speakers expected all under one roof, it’s the place to be for all things manufacturing and engineering.

Smart Manufacturing Week brings together a unique mix of technology, engineering and practical manufacturing experience. What stood out for me was the quality of the conversations, not just around AI and digital transformation, but how organisations are turning those ideas into real operational value. It was a privilege to be part of the event and share how connected, intelligent equipment is changing the way industrial products continue to evolve long after they leave the factory.
