The UK’s definitive bus and coach exhibition returns to the NEC Birmingham on 3-5 November 2026.
Visitor registration has opened for Euro Bus Expo, which has been the meeting place for the UK bus and coach industry for over three decades. Returning to the NEC Birmingham this November, the three-day exhibition will deliver vehicle displays, technology showcases, and the latest industry insights.
The 2026 edition, supported by show partner Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), is expected to welcome more than 200 exhibitors. 22 vehicle exhibitors have already confirmed their attendance, spanning bus, coach, and mini and midi bus. They are joined by a growing line-up of technology, infrastructure, and service suppliers covering everything from fleet management and charging to passenger systems, driver training, and finance.
For visiting operators, Euro Bus Expo captures everything the industry could need under one roof – delivering time and travel efficiencies, productive supplier conversations, and the opportunity to consolidate months of research into a matter of days. Whether planning fleet renewal, exploring zero-emission options, or reviewing operational technology, visitors can assess their choices, ask the right questions, and move decisions forward across three focused days.
Helen Conway, Event Director for Euro Bus Expo, said: “Euro Bus Expo is where the industry comes together to meet suppliers face to face, see the latest innovations and make informed business decisions. The 2026 exhibitor line-up is building at pace, with a packed and broad-ranging showcase set for this November. We’re looking forward to welcoming the industry back to the NEC.”
Launched in 2024, Euro Bus Expo Connect returns as the event’s dedicated networking platform. Attendees can search for exhibitors and products ahead of the event, schedule meetings directly with suppliers, and build a personal itinerary of appointments and theatre sessions. A hosted meeting lounge at the event will also provide dedicated space for key business discussions. The platform opens in September 2026, allowing registered attendees to lock in meetings early and maximise their time at the event.
The Masterclass Theatre programme is now in development, with sessions set to tackle the operational, commercial, and regulatory priorities facing the sector. Through a Call for Speakers, industry professionals are invited to apply to share their real-world insights and experiences. Submissions can be made via the show website before the 24 June 2026 deadline.
Registration is free of charge and open to industry professionals via the show website, eurobusxpo.com. Registering early means being among the first to receive event updates, theatre announcements, and access to Euro Bus Expo Connect when it launches in September.
