Empack 2026, taking place at NEC Birmingham on February 11-12, 2026, has opened for registration. Over two days, more than 7,400 visitors, 450 suppliers, and 80 speakers will come together to explore the full packaging supply chain under one roof. From concept to fulfilment, every stage of the journey is represented, and real-world challenges .
Meeting Today’s Demands
The 2026 edition highlights how packaging can meet today’s demands while preparing for tomorrow. Visitors will explore solutions in automation, robotics, AI, and smart manufacturing, gain practical insights in CPD-accredited seminars, and hear from regulators, brand owners, suppliers, and disruptors tackling the industry’s biggest challenges.
Dedicated show zones, including the Smart Packaging Zone, Start-Up Zone, and Foodservice Zone, provide tailored insights, while live demonstrations at Empack showcase automation and machinery innovations in action. Contract Pack & Fulfillment, hosted by the BCMPA, connects brands with more than 200 outsourcing partners to streamline production, improve efficiency, and scale e-commerce fulfillment, while offering startups and emerging disruptors opportunities to pitch to co-packers.
Developing Talent
The event also champions inclusivity and talent development. Partnerships with charities and industry programs celebrate diversity and accessibility, while the Future Trailblazers Awards, supported by The Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3), will once again shine a spotlight on the next generation of leaders shaping the future of packaging.
