Advanced Ceramics Show 2026

The Advanced Ceramics Show taking place on 8th & 9th July 2026 at the NEC Birmingham, UK. Is a two-day free-to-attend offering unparalleled access to the latest innovations, suppliers, research and industry leaders shaping the ceramics and advanced materials landscape.

The Advanced Ceramics Show brings together the entire ceramics supply chain, from R&D and materials engineers to manufacturing professionals and industry executives seeking collaboration across sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical, energy, electronics, construction and defence. Co-located with The Advanced Materials Show, Battery Cells & Systems Expo and Vehicle Electrification Expo, the event forms part of a major hub for materials technology, innovation and networking under one roof.

Across both days, attendees can walk the exhibition floor, meet leading suppliers of raw materials, processing equipment and ceramic components, and discover cutting-edge advances in technical ceramics, additive manufacturing, heat treatment, testing and measurement technologies. With thousands of professionals expected to attend, the show offers excellent opportunities for sourcing new technologies, solving material challenges and exploring partnerships.

Alongside the expo, the event also features a world-class conference programme with expert speakers and sessions focused on innovation, commercialisation, emerging trends and strategic applications of ceramic and advanced materials. These sessions are designed to inform, inspire and connect professionals across the technical materials ecosystem.

A standout addition to the 2026 programme is the ‘Scale-Up Accelerator’, a high-impact initiative launched within the broader context of The Advanced Materials Show to support early-stage innovators and startups. The Scale-Up Accelerator showcases breakthrough materials technologies ready to move toward commercialisation, connecting inventors with technology scouts, potential partners, investors and industry players looking for the next generation of materials solutions.

The Advanced Ceramics Show is a must-attend event for anyone involved in advanced ceramics development, materials engineering or materials-driven innovation.
