Embrace the world of material innovation!

Join 6000+ architects, designers and specifiers to discover the best innovative materials for the built environment whilst also enjoying a stellar line up of guest speakers and thought-provoking installations. 

As part of the exciting collaboration with RIBA, this year’s show will serve as host partner for two of RIBA’s most significant annual events: Riba Future Leaders; and RIBA AI In Practice Summit. The events, co-located with this year’s Surface Design Show, will create a dynamic flow of activity throughout the exhibition. Large groups of RIBA delegates will move between sessions and the show floor, ensuring a steady influx of industry leaders, architects, and designers into the event. This will not only enhance networking opportunities but also expose participants to a curated showcase of best-in-class innovations in surfaces, finishes and materials, highlighting cutting-edge design thinking and craftsmanship.
