A new event is set to round off the calendar this year, with the first InstallerFESTIVAL taking place at London’s ExCeL on November 19.
The one-day show is designed to look back on the highlights of 2025 while also offering a glimpse at what’s coming next. Unlike a traditional trade exhibition, organisers say InstallerFESTIVAL will focus on content, networking and informal get-togethers.
The line-up includes Best of 2025 Live, condensing the most popular InstallerSHOW sessions and webinars into a single-day programme, and a first look at InstallerSHOW 2026 – which will include major events in both New York and Birmingham, alongside the World Plumbing Conference.
Other features on the agenda include the launch of The Judis, Installer’s new content creator awards, and The Ambassador’s Reception, pitched as a space for influencers and creators to connect with the wider industry. The day will round off with InstallerSOCIAL EXTRA – an informal chance for delegates to network over drinks.
InstallerFESTIVAL will run alongside elementalLONDON (November 19–20), the two-day sustainability-focused event that showcases products and solutions aimed at reducing energy use and carbon emissions across commercial and large-scale residential projects.
For designers and independent retailers, the event represents a potential opportunity to connect with installers, manufacturers and merchants, while also keeping an eye on some of the big themes that will shape 2026.
Joe Sharpe, head of content at Installer comments: “InstallerFESTIVAL is another important launch for us. We’re looking forward to meeting up face-to-face with our installer community at the end of the year.
“We’ll be bringing some of the hottest topics, networking opportunities, and of course, a party. Registration will be available soon, keep your eyes peeled and grab your free tickets to join us.”
