The UK Concrete Show, the UK’s only dedicated concrete exhibition, will return to the NEC, Birmingham on 25 - 26 March 2026, bringing together concrete producers, contractors, engineers, designers, specifiers and specialist suppliers from across the sector. The free-to-attend event provides a focused platform for professionals to explore the latest developments in concrete production, precast and offsite systems, reinforcement, admixtures, transport, testing, digital technologies and low-carbon solutions.

Building on a successful launch in 2025, the New Products Hub returns, showcasing recently launched products, materials and technologies from across the concrete supply chain. The feature offers a snapshot of innovation in the sector and highlights practical solutions responding to efficiency, sustainability and performance challenges.

Partner organisations include The Concrete Society, The Institute of Concrete Technology, the Association of Concrete Industrial Flooring Contractors, the Structural Concrete Alliance, the Institute of Quarrying, the British Aggregates Association, the Advanced Carbons Council and MPA – The Concrete Centre. The area provides a focal point for networking, professional development and industry support.
