FAQs

When does Automate UK Week 2027 take place?

Automate UK Week will be coming to Halls 1 and 5 at the NEC, Birmingham, 28 - 30 September 2027.

What does co-location mean?

Ordinarily, the PPMA Show and UK Automation Show run at different venues at different times of the year. Automate UK Week 2027 brings these two award-winning events together at a single location at the same time to create an enhanced experience for everyone involved. Simply put: one destination, two shows, endless possibilities.

What’s the registration process?

Although both events will be brought together under the Automate UK Week 2027 banner, each exhibition will continue to operate independently, and visitors will be required to register for each show separately. However, once registered for either event, your badge will grant access to both exhibitions.

Will Automate UK Week be an annual event?

The current plan is for Automate UK Week to run every two years, with 2027 marking the first year this ambitious event will take place. That’s why it truly is the must-attend event for those looking to adopt and celebrate industry best-practice and future-thinking.
