See what happened at WeldJoinExpo 2026
We created an engaging programme of events, including keynote presentations, workshops, and live demonstrations. In addition, there was an exhibition courtesy of TWI, Make UK and Make UK Defence members.
This event opened with a speech from TWI/ The Welding Institute CEO, Caroline Gumble and also included opportunities to find out about professional support via The Welding Institute, technical support and consultancy for Industrial Members, and insights into the wealth of unique technical knowledge and information available via the TWI Digital Library.
