CEDIA has announced the dates and locations for its 2026 UK Tech + Business Summits, including a new Manchester venue for the coming year.
The free regional events will take place on April 21 at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, May 20 at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, June 9 at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol, and July 7 at the Business Design Centre in London.
According to CEDIA, the 2026 programme will place a stronger emphasis on collaboration between technology integrators, manufacturers and design and build professionals.
Matt Nimmons, managing director of CEDIA EMEA, said: “This year, the CEDIA Tech + Business Summits are focused on bringing complementary industries together to strengthen collaboration and create new partnerships.
“A major focus for 2026 is expanding our engagement with design and build professionals through hosting panel discussions, and offering targeted, accredited CPD sessions aimed at supporting the professional development of design and build professionals.
“After seeing the benefits of involving designers at ISE, we’re excited to expand the summits to further engage the design and build community.”
A key addition for 2026 is a curated panel discussion series titled “Collaboration to Build Success: Aligning Design, Space and Technology on Home Integration Projects.”
The sessions will feature voices from integration, architecture and interior design, exploring how earlier engagement between disciplines can improve project outcomes.
An accredited CPD presentation tailored to architects and design professionals will also form part of the programme, providing guidance on integrating residential technology into modern building projects.
Confirmed exhibitors include ADI, AWE, Alltrade, KEF, Lutron, One AV and Sonos.
Each event will also be supported by a visitor app providing programme updates and exclusive updates. Registration is now open via the CEDIA website.
