Smart Manufacturing Week

Smart Manufacturing Week returns to NEC Birmingham on 9-10 June 2027 for its sixth edition, bringing together the people, technologies and ideas advancing UK manufacturing and engineering. The event explores how manufacturing has changed and what organisations should prepare for next, from proven engineering and established production methods to connected factories, automation, industrial AI and digital twins. Expert-led sessions, peer learning, live demonstrations and an extensive showcase of hardware, software and integrated solutions help visitors compare technologies, solve current challenges and make informed investment decisions. Headline events include the digital manufacturing revolution, robotics and automation, maintenance, reliability and asset management, engineering the future, a high-level exclusive summit and exclusive networking for industry leaders. Smart Manufacturing Week is researched and produced by The Manufacturer, the UK's leading industry publisher and event organiser, and organised by Nineteen Group.
