MachineBuilding.North 2026 is Northern England’s only event for machine builders, systems integrators and industrial automation specialists looking to turn ideas into real-world solutions.

Taking place on Wednesday 13 May 2026 at the Concorde Conference Centre in Manchester, the event brings together 140 leading suppliers from across industrial automation and machine building – with the exhibition floor already sold out. This critical mass of specialists gives visitors a unique opportunity to evaluate technologies, compare solutions side-by-side, and speak directly with experts who can help move projects forward.

Across the exhibition floor you’ll find solutions spanning machine safety, motion and drives, sensors and instrumentation, industrial networking, robotics, control systems and more – all focused on helping manufacturers build safer, smarter and more efficient machines.

Visitors can also attend a programme of expert-led technical workshops, covering key topics such as machinery safety, robotics integration, industrial cybersecurity and automation architecture. These sessions are delivered by leading suppliers and industry specialists, offering practical insights that can be applied immediately.

The event’s unique one-day format is designed to deliver maximum information in minimum time – making it easy for busy engineers and manufacturing professionals to get in, get the answers they need and get back to work.

Hosted at the iconic Concorde Conference Centre, visitors can also enjoy exclusive Concorde experiences alongside the exhibition. With free parking just steps from the venue entrance and a complimentary breakfast roll and brew for visitors arriving before 11:00, everything is designed to make attending easy.
