The Bathroom Association is set to bring back its Bathroom Pavilion at InstallerSHOW 2026, with a three-day programme focused on industry collaboration, technical insight and business growth.
The Bathroom Association has confirmed it will return to InstallerSHOW 2026 this June, unveiling an updated programme for its Bathroom Pavilion aimed at encouraging knowledge-sharing and addressing key industry challenges.
Following what it described as a successful 2025 event, the association said the refreshed line-up will combine practical sessions with broader discussions, bringing together manufacturers, retailers, distributors and installers.
Amy Kirk, marketing and events director at the Bathroom Association, said: “Our sector is at its strongest when the supply chain is working together: manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and installers learning from each other, sharing knowledge, and tackling the big issues collectively.
“After a very successful show in 2025, we’re returning with a programme that combines practical insights with forward-looking conversations and creates the space for the industry to connect.”
The three-day programme opens on Tuesday 23 June with a focus on wider industry challenges. CEO Daphne Doody-Green will speak at the World Plumbing Council Conference, before attention turns to water efficiency and supply. A technical session will explore Ofwat’s Water Efficiency Lab, including insights into funded projects and future opportunities.
The first day will also host the Bristan Race for Change drinks reception, linking the Pavilion to a new four-day European charity event for construction professionals launching in 2026.
Day two shifts towards commercial opportunities, with a session from Troy Linehan on using social media and paid advertising to drive sales. The programme also sees the return of the Designers Disco, featuring DJ Ron Stephenson.
On day three, the focus moves back to standards and regulation, with input from the International Code Council. Speakers will look at how international codes influence outcomes and what lessons can be applied in the UK market.
Across all three days, the association will also host invite-only networking breakfasts for members, including a dedicated session for managing directors on the opening morning.
The Bathroom Association said the Pavilion is designed to provide a space for shared learning and stronger connections across the supply chain, with the aim of helping attendees leave with practical insights and a clearer view of the sector’s direction.
