Daikin announces summer networking events

UK: Daikin UK has planned a series of networking events this summer, promising an agenda of expert-led content, product innovation, and industry dialogue.

Taking place at prestigious venues across the UK from May to July 2026, Daikin says that the Summer Series will offer guests a unique opportunity to network with peers, share practical solutions for decarbonising heating, cooling and hot water systems, and gain valuable insight into emerging technologies.

At the heart of the Summer Series is a wide-ranging conversation about how heat pumps can be deployed at greater scale to meet commercial and industrial heating and cooling demands, and how the technology can replace gas boilers across a wide range of building types. 

The programme will also showcase Daikin’s updated VRV5 systems, with its proprietary Shîrudo leak detection technology, and showcase latest innovations like the refreshed Stylish range of indoor units. 

Also on show will be the redesigned and award-winning Madoka Plus wired room controller.

The Daikin Summer Series 2026 will take place at Glasshouse Hotel, Edinburgh (28 May), Hotel Indigo, Leeds (18 June), Mercedes-Benz World, London (13 July), Bath Racecourse, Bath (15 July), Lakeside Hotel and Spa, Ulverston (16 July), Sandown Park Racecourse, London (24 July).
