The Water Equipment Show expands for 2026

The Water Equipment Show, the event exclusively for professionals in the water and wastewater sectors, will return to the Telford International Centre on 14 May 2026 for what organisers describe as its biggest edition yet. 

Now expanding across three halls, the show will centre on the theme Delivering a sustainable future through innovation, partnership and standardisation. Delegates can expect a packed programme of industry insights, knowledge-sharing opportunities and demonstrations of the latest technological developments shaping the sector. 

Visitors will be able to explore an extensive exhibition featuring a wide range of equipment and services from more than two hundred of the UK’s leading manufacturers, suppliers and contractors. Technical conference sessions and specialist breakout discussions will delve into topics including net zero and sustainability, innovation and new technology, standard assets and efficiencies, and broader water industry issues. 

The event will also host dedicated areas for networking, career development and practical demonstrations. Attendees can engage in the Careers & Learning Zone with employers and professional institutes, observe practical equipment showcases in the Live Demo Pavilion and follow the Pump Operations Challenge, in which engineering and maintenance teams compete for recognition. 

Recognition of emerging talent will be part of the day with the Young Engineer Awards, celebrating early-career contributions to the industry. Entry to the conference and exhibition is free for registered delegates. 

Industry professionals from utility and water supply companies, regulatory bodies including the Environment Agency, and senior decision-makers with an interest in mechanical and electrical equipment and associated services are expected to attend.
