Smart Buildings Show 2026 stand in London: your turnkey stand builder
ICT
International
The Smart Buildings Show is the UK's conference and exhibition dedicated to connected commercial buildings. The 2026 edition takes place on October 14th and 15th at ExCeL London.
Smart Buildings Show: technical management of connected buildings
The show brings together around 3,500 participants around energy management, controls and networks, IT and digital infrastructure, management, and proptech. Four free theatres offer conferences, and exhibitors present their solutions.
Topics covered include building automation, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, sustainability, and connectivity. The dates for the 2027 edition have not yet been announced.
ExCeL London: a well-connected Docklands venue
ExCeL is located in East London, served by the DLR and close to London City Airport. The halls are suitable for both medium-sized and large-scale exhibitions.
The United Kingdom is outside the European Union: transporting a stand involves temporary import-export formalities, often under an ATA carnet. For a trade show this close, these deadlines are prepared primarily with the 2027 edition in mind.
Connected building stands: how we work
A BMS (Building Management System) or smart building exhibitor must make low-profile solutions visible: scale models, monitoring screens, sensor demonstrations, and quantified use cases. We design educational and legible stands. Discover our energy, tech, and cybersecurity stand page and our custom-built stands.

Tips for exhibiting at Smart Buildings Show
Show real demonstrations: a working model convinces better than a presentation.
Talk about energy savings: consumption and ROI figures are of high interest to buyers.
Prepare for cybersecurity: network security issues are frequently raised.
Anticipate UK customs: ATA carnet and packing lists should be prepared several weeks in advance.
