Everything you need for machine building - all in one place, in one day
For engineers working in machine building and industrial automation, finding the right solution is rarely straightforward. It often means hours of research, multiple supplier conversations and time spent comparing different technologies, approaches and integration strategies. MachineBuilding.North 2026 has been designed to change that.
Taking place at the Concorde Conference Centre in Manchester on Wednesday, 13th May, the event brings together a critical mass of more than 140 automation specialists, creating a unique opportunity to explore solutions, compare technologies and get answers to real engineering challenges - all in one day.
A rare concentration of automation expertise
With a sold-out exhibition floor, MachineBuilding.North offers access to a breadth of technology that is difficult to replicate anywhere else. Visitors can explore solutions across:
- Motion control and drives
- Sensors and instrumentation
- Machine safety systems
- Robotics and automation platforms
- Industrial networking and control systems
And much more! Instead of searching across multiple suppliers over weeks or months, engineers can compare options side-by-side, ask detailed technical questions and evaluate solutions in a single visit.
Turn ideas into practical solutions
Alongside the exhibition, a programme of technical workshops and hands-on training sessions provides deeper insight into how these technologies can be applied.
From machinery safety and compliance to automation architecture, networking and performance optimisation, the sessions are designed to deliver practical, usable knowledge.
For engineers looking to move projects forward, validate decisions or explore new approaches, this combination of learning and solution discovery is where the real value lies.
Why engineers make the time to attend
In a single day at MachineBuilding.North visitors can:
- Solve specific engineering challenges
- Discover new or more efficient solutions
- Compare technologies side-by-side
- Gain practical insight from industry experts
- Connect with specialists who understand their applications
Free to attend for manufacturing professionals, the event takes place on Wednesday, 13th May in Manchester.
For engineers working on machine design, integration or optimisation, it offers a rare opportunity to make meaningful progress, all in one place, in one day.
