Looking forward to MachineBuilding.Live this October

I spend a lot of my time talking to manufacturers, machine builders, systems integrators and automation engineers about what's actually changing on the ground: new technology, evolving safety requirements, or simply the challenge of delivering projects on time and on budget. What I like about this event is that it reflects that reality.

Following sold-out events at MachineBuilding.North in Manchester and MachineBuilding.South at Sandown Park, we're back for the biggest edition yet: 200+ specialist suppliers and over 1,000 of the latest innovations and new products, alongside a CPD-accredited workshop programme built around three pillars: machinery safety & regulatory compliance, automation architecture & industrial AI, and industrial networking & connectivity.

Confirmed speakers include Pilz Automation Technology, Lenze, B&R Industrial Automation, SKF, Beckhoff Automation and SolutionsPT, alongside hands-on IO-Link training delivered by Tim Beech of TGN Project Services on behalf of PI UK - back after selling out at both North and South.

As the UK's only event designed exclusively for machine builders, systems integrators and OEMs, it's known among engineers at organisations including Airbus, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, JCB, Siemens and Nestle as the fastest way to compare technologies, sense-check a project and walk away with real answers. This year, co-located with FoodManufacturing.Live, that's two focused exhibitions in one visit.

If that sounds useful, I'd encourage you to come along,the event is free for manufacturing professionals, and I hope to see you there.

MachineBuilding.Live and FoodManufacturing.Live take place on Wednesday, 14th October 2026, 09:00 - 15:00, at the NAEC, Stoneleigh Park.

Free to attend for machine builders, systems integrators and manufacturing professionals.
