InstallerShow attracts 31,000 visitors

UK: The three-day InstallerShow at Birmingham’s NEC last month attracted 31,000 visitors, according to the organiser Lyrical Communications.

Claiming a 54% year-on-year growth in attendees, Lyrical’s MD Mike Costain said that this year’s show exceeded all expectations. “The buzz on the floor, the quality of conversations, and the sheer scale of engagement – from visitors and exhibitors alike – was incredible. It’s clear the industry values this platform as a place to connect, learn, and do business.”

In all, the show featured over 800 exhibitors and more than 100 CPD-accredited sessions in 11 content theatres. 

Planning for the 2026 event is said to be well underway, with the InstallerShow set to return to the NEC Birmingham from 23-25 June.
