Smart Buildings Show London 2026

What Is the Smart Buildings Show?

The Smart Buildings Show is an industry event focused on the technologies, systems and practices involved in creating and operating connected commercial buildings.

The event brings together solutions spanning the physical infrastructure of buildings and the digital systems that support their operation. Topics covered by the 2026 event include building management systems, automation, sensors, connectivity, energy efficiency, digital twins, AI, data analytics, cybersecurity, HVAC, lighting and controls, IT infrastructure and workplace management.

As buildings become increasingly connected, professionals need to coordinate multiple systems across design, construction and ongoing operations.
