EVENTS
Visitor registration now open for Advanced
Engineering 2025 Visitor registration is now open for Advanced Engineering UK, the UK’s leading annual gathering of engineering and manufacturing professionals. Taking place on 29 and 30 October 2025 at the NEC Birmingham, Advanced Engineering is the UK’s only event that connects the entire industrial ecosystem, now featuring exciting new additions like the expanded Composites Pavilion, the SME Village, the ADS Pavilion, AM2 Forum (Additive Manufacturing and Advanced Materials Forum) and a focused Electronics Zone. Together, these zones provide fresh opportunities for innovation, collaboration and growth — all designed to power the possible.
The show will also champion real-world problem- solving and high-value manufacturing — from net-zero composites to energy-efficient processes. By bringing engineers and innovators together, meaningful change and the industry’s most pressing challenges across all sectors can be addressed, including sustainability and skills development.
Following a record-breaking 2024 event that welcomed over 9,800 professionals, attendees can therefore look forward to two action-packed days, filled with cutting-edge technology demonstrations, expert-led forums and networking opportunities.
A highlight for 2025 is the newly expanded Composites Pavilion, now in its fourth year and fully booked well in advance. Delivered in partnership with Composites UK, the pavilion offers smaller companies and SMEs turnkey exhibition pods — complete with branded displays, video screens and shelving — making it easy and cost-effective to showcase their innovations. Strategically located next to the Composites Networking Zone, the pavilion provides high visibility and attracts key OEM visitors.
Alongside the pavilion, the Composites Networking Zone will feature hands-on demonstrations from PRF Composite Materials, showcasing cutting-edge prepreg systems including rapid processing RP570 presses and innovative recycled carbon solutions. Insights from end users across aerospace, automotive, marine and renewables will highlight how composites are driving high-performance applications and net-zero ambitions across sectors.

Building on this, Composites UK has reimagined the Composites Forum for 2025, curating two full days of expert-led sessions focused on sustainability, material circularity and new product development — all aimed at strengthening the sector’s innovation and collaboration. Here, the Composites Networking Zone will be a key feature, with PRF Composite Materials hosting interactive demos and networking sessions designed to foster valuable industry connections.
The event will also reinforce the role of SMEs and agile innovators through dedicated spaces such as the SME Village, platforming disruptive technologies across automation, embedded systems, semiconductors and more. These zones underscore the crucial role SMEs play in driving innovation and growth across the UK’s engineering and manufacturing sectors.
“Advanced Engineering is the only UK event that connects every corner of the industrial ecosystem,” said Simon Farnfield, Event Director of Advanced Engineering at Easyfairs UK & Global. “With zones focused on composites, electronics and SME innovation, and forums designed to address the industry’s biggest challenges, the 2025 edition is set to deliver even more value for visitors and exhibitors alike. This edition will feature over 400 exhibitors, including more than 130 making their debut, meaning that a lot of the stands will offer something brand new to discover.”
“By harnessing digitalisation with smart assembly tooling, automation, vision inspection and data-driven analysis solutions, manufacturers are transforming their processes to achieve sustainability, productivity and profitability goals.”
Over 200 expert speakers are also set to take stage across multiple forums to explore key topics including digitalisation, supply chain resilience, sustainability and government policy. The event will also continue its #MINDTHEskillsGAP initiative — launched to help tackle the UK’s ongoing shortage of engineering and manufacturing talent.
In addition, Composites UK will co-locate its prestigious Industry Awards Dinner on the evening of 29 October at the neighbouring National Motorcycle Museum, providing a prime networking opportunity for sector leaders.
