About the Event

Technology Showcase 2026 is a chance to see how engineering organisations are approaching product development today.

Hear directly from customers, get hands-on with the technologies being discussed on stage, and speak with the specialists behind them. Throughout the day, you’ll be able to try Apple Vision Pro, watch simulation studies in action, see reverse engineering and 3D scanning demonstrations, and see how AI is being applied across engineering workflows.

Customer presentations will provide an honest view of real projects, including the challenges faced, the decisions made and the lessons learned along the way.

Every attendee will be entered into a prize draw to win a Dell Pro Max 16 Plus (2025-26) workstation laptop.

Explore the Exhibition Space

At the centre of the event is an interactive exhibition designed around the product development process.

Technology Zones are organised around key stages of that process, covering design, simulation, visualisation, manufacturing and engineering data management. Live demonstrations will run throughout the day, giving visitors the opportunity to see these technologies in action and discuss their practical application with specialist teams.

The exhibition also features customer and industry showcases, including organisations such as Gordon Murray, Vertical Aerospace and SailGP, alongside technology partners including DriveWorks, Dell, NVIDIA and 3DPRINTUK.

Visitors will be able to experience Apple Vision Pro and 3DEXCITE demonstrations, take on the Technology Showcase Model Mania challenge, and connect with members of the wider engineering community, including SWUGN.

The exhibition has been designed to complement the presentations, giving attendees the opportunity to continue conversations, explore technologies in greater detail and learn directly from customers, partners and specialists.
