The UK’s premier technology summit, Tech Show London 2026, officially kicks off today March 4, 2026 at ExCeL London.

The two-day conference is expected to host more than 17,000 decision-makers and 400 exhibitors to navigate the increasingly complex intersection of AI ethics and infrastructure. Keynote lineup includes mathematician Professor Hannah Fry, internet pioneer Baroness Martha Lane-Fox, and Day One headline speaker Louis Theroux.

Five shows one roof

This year’s show combines five major technology conferences under one roof, allowing attendees to explore the latest trends shaping enterprise IT:

• Cloud & AI Infrastructure: Navigating the "AI Supercycle."

• Cloud & Cyber Security Expo: Featuring high-stakes sessions on Ransomware 3.0

• Big Data & AI World: Real-world business cases for generative AI.

• Data Centre World: Sustainability and green cooling solutions.

• DevOps Live: Scaling agile frameworks for the 2026 landscape.

The event features keynote talks, panel discussions, live demonstrations, and networking opportunities designed to help businesses build and secure modern digital infrastructure while navigating rapid advances in artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

Major technology companies and infrastructure providers, including Vertiv, ABB, Siemens, Red Hat, and Netskope, are among the exhibitors showcasing new solutions and services at the event.

What to watch for tomorrow

As the show continues into March 5, the focus will shift toward the Workforce & Culture track.

Martha Lane, the internet pioneer, will reflect on the digital world's future, focusing on accessibility and the "digital divide."

Moreover, dedicated networking events and peer-to-peer sessions will address the critical talent shortage in the UK, aiming to bring more diverse voices into the engineering and DevOps pipelines.
