AEMT CONFERENCE 2026: WHERE INNOVATION TAKES FLIGHT

Set beneath Concorde at Manchester Airport, this year’s AEMT Conference will bring together industry leaders, fresh ideas and practical insight for a day focused on collaboration, innovation and growth.

On 24 September, the AEMT Conference returns — and this year, it’s quite literally set to soar.

Taking place at the iconic Concorde Conference Centre, delegates will gather beneath the belly of one of the greatest engineering achievements of all time. It’s a setting that perfectly reflects the spirit of the day: bold thinking, precision engineering, and pushing boundaries.

With the theme ‘Collaborate – Innovate – Educate’, this year’s conference is designed to bring together the very best minds from across the electrical and mechanical industries. Expect a full programme of insightful talks, practical ideas, and fresh perspectives to help your business gain momentum and stay ahead of the curve.

Leading the charge is headline speaker Chris Boardman — a name synonymous with performance, marginal gains, and world-class teamwork. His journey from Olympic champion to industry innovator is a masterclass in how collaboration and continuous improvement can drive success. If you’re looking to get your business into top gear, this is one session you won’t want to miss.

Beyond the main stage, the day offers dedicated opportunities to Champion Women in Engineering, support and inspire the next generation of apprentices, as well as connect with peers, partners, and industry leaders in a relaxed setting. Great ideas don’t just happen in presentations — they happen in conversations.

As the exhibits wind down, the atmosphere will shift up a gear. From 6pm, the after-party begins — a chance to kick back, celebrate, and strengthen those all-important connections in a more informal setting. (We suggest keeping your diaries clear for the next morning!)

Whether you're looking to spark new ideas, build lasting partnerships, or simply be part of something bigger, this is your boarding call.

Exhibition spaces and delegate passes all include food throughout the day - morning, midday and evening, as well as access to all talks and entertainment until late.
