Conference and Exhibition Programme

See what is happening at WeldJoinExpo 2026 and plan your visit

We have created an engaging programme of events, including keynote presentations, workshops, a poster competition, and live demonstrations. In addition, there will be an exhibition courtesy of TWI, Make UK and Make UK Defence members and an attendee dinner on the evening of 7 July, 2025.

The two-day event will open with a speech from TWI/ The Welding Institute CEO, Caroline Gumble and will also include 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.
