Utility Week Live 2027 is bringing something new
to the whole UK utilities sector

Utility Week Live 2027

Hundreds of industry leaders. Seven new zones. One goal: matching buyers with sellers.

Asset Management, Capital Projects, Customer, Digital, Environment, Flexibility and Storage and Workforce: seven zones built around how utilities actually buy. At UWL27, there's a zone that puts you directly in front of the buyers looking for exactly what you sell.

Eight stages match the zones, offering a thought leadership platform to reach an audience that takes what they've learned back to the front line and puts it into action. The popular Utility Week Keynote Stage also returns, featuring industry CEOs alongside regulatory and policy leaders (content programme launching January 2027).

See the opportunities to connect with the people who make buying decisions across £14bn of annual utility spend. Powered by the subscriber-only Utility Week brand, it's the one place the whole sector turns up together.

Our exhibitors and sponsors are at the heart of everything we do

For UWL27, we're investing in a new show experience that gives you easy exposure to the right people. Hear from last year's exhibitors below, as they explain why they're returning in 2027.


"Utility Week Live has been great for us this year - likewise with the last five or six years that we've been. We have gained new customers, met potential customers and caught up with existing customers. It's great to find out about what’s going on with the competition and the industry as a whole.

We’ll be back again next year. We look forward to seeing new fresh faces, new companies and new agendas. We get to see what water companies are doing."

- Exhibitor - Egeplast


"We've had busy days with really good visitors, and high-quality talks.

Coming back next year is a pleasure for us because we have made friends over the years and developed new clients."

- Exhibitor - Reinert-Ritz

 

 

 


"Utility Week Live has been really eye-opening. Our industry is slightly different to the usual gas and water sectors, and it’s been beneficial to show what we do and how our company can support others. It's been really positive.

We're coming back next year because we've identified other avenues that we can tap into. We have met the right people who we will connect with after the event."

- Exhibitor - Osmose Europe
