London is set to strengthen its position as a global hub for event technology and MICE innovation as the Event Technology Forum 2026 takes place on 11 May 2026 at the Hilton London Canary Wharf. Organised by Forum Events Ltd, the event is expected to bring together buyers, suppliers, and industry professionals from across the events and technology sectors to explore the future of digital event experiences, AI-driven solutions, and smart engagement technologies.
The forum has emerged as a focused platform for one-to-one business meetings, networking, and knowledge exchange within the event technology industry. Designed specifically for event organisers, venues, agencies, and tech providers, the event will facilitate direct interactions between decision-makers and solution providers, helping businesses discover innovative technologies that can improve event management, attendee engagement, analytics, registration systems, and operational efficiency.
A major highlight of the forum will be its educational and thought-leadership programme featuring keynote sessions, panel discussions, and expert-led seminars focused on emerging trends shaping the future of the global MICE industry. Topics expected to dominate discussions include artificial intelligence in events, experiential technology, digital transformation, hybrid event strategies, automation, audience engagement tools, and data-driven event planning. The event aims to provide professionals with practical insights into adapting to rapidly changing industry expectations and technological advancements.
The forum also reflects the broader growth of the UK’s event technology sector, which continues to gain momentum as organisers increasingly invest in digital tools to enhance attendee experiences and improve business outcomes. London’s strong infrastructure, international connectivity, and growing ecosystem of event-tech companies have positioned the city as one of Europe’s leading destinations for innovation-driven business events.
With increasing global demand for smarter, more personalised, and data-enabled event experiences, the Event Technology Forum 2026 is expected to play a significant role in driving collaboration between technology providers and the MICE industry. By bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and buyers under one platform, the event aims to support the next phase of growth and transformation across the UK and European business events ecosystem.
