Meet capital delivery buyers from across UK water, gas and electricity utilities, all under one roof

The new Capital Projects Zone puts you in front of the project directors, programme managers and capital delivery leads responsible for the most ambitious infrastructure investment programme the UK has seen in decades. It covers civil engineering and construction; project design and delivery; street works and reinstatement; and site plant and equipment. It connects buyers managing billions of pounds of capital spend with supply chain partners already delivering for utilities - the people walking into your zone are already looking for what you offer.

Five reasons the organisations delivering GB's biggest infrastructure build are choosing Utility Week Live

Why the Capital Projects Zone?

Direct Access

The people delivering the build, together

Project directors, programme managers, capital delivery leads and procurement and category managers, actively managing billions of pounds of capital spend across water, gas and electricity. Through UWL: Connect, pre-registered utility procurement leads have facilitated, opt-in meetings with exhibitors in a managed environment.

Timing

The build-out gives you a reason to talk

AMP8 is the largest capital programme the water sector has ever seen, and tens of billions of pounds are being invested in energy transmission and distribution. Every major utility is recruiting, procuring and delivering at once, creating the ideal moment to position as a trusted delivery partner.

Growth    

Delivery partners get a platform, not just a stand

Through UWL: Connect, Tier One contractors gain a branded innovation pod and a speaking slot on the Capital Projects Stage, positioning them as innovation leaders in front of the senior utility buyers who approve framework appointments.

Content-led

Stage sessions built around what this audience wants

A programme shaped by the delivery themes this audience follows closely - doing forty years of work in five, standardisation as a delivery accelerator, AI in capital delivery and modular construction - designed to draw project directors and delivery leads into your zone across both days.

Year-round

Visibility before the show even opens

Utility Week's Capital Projects Innovation series publishes your innovation story on the Utility Week website post-event, extending your presence well beyond the show floor. You'll also feature in multiple campaigns reaching 180,000+ contacts, 38,000 social followers and 500,000 annual website users.

At UWL26, 48% of visitors reported Infrastructure Delivery as an area of interest.
