RIDBA Industry Day 2026

RIDBA’s flagship event will bring together members, partners, and leading voices from across the sector at the renowned Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry.

The programme has now been confirmed, and we are pleased to announce that Gerry Hearne, operational policy manager at the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), will deliver a keynote presentation on the government's work to support compliance of BS EN 1090.

Alongside the government update, attendees will hear from RIDBA on the association's priorities, enjoy an introduction to artificial intelligence from Nick Crawford of Twist, receive an update from the Manufacturing Technology Centre and be able to enjoy an exclusive guided tour of the MTC's innovation facilities.

We're delighted to announce Barrett Steel as our headline sponsor, with STRUMIS, Thomas Panels and Profiles, Wedge Galvanizing and Trimble supporting as event sponsors.
