Aerospace Tech Week Is Coming to London. Here’s Why That Matters.

Aerospace Tech Week has always been a must-watch event for anyone working in aviation technology, MRO, connected aircraft, or aerospace supply chains. It brings together the senior decision-makers, OEM leads, and technology innovators who actually shape where the industry goes next.

For 2026, the event is moving to London after being previously held at Munich’s MOC venue. That’s a significant shift — and a big opportunity for UK-based professionals.

The Munich-to-London Move: What Changed and Why It’s Good

The 2025 edition was held in Munich. Strong event, strong turnout. But Munich has always required a European trip for most UK attendees — flights, hotels, time out of office.

London changes that entirely.

Why the London venue is a win for the UK aerospace community:

• ExCeL is one of Europe’s best-connected conference venues.
• More accessible for UK engineers, suppliers, and aviation startups.
• UK aerospace sector is already a global heavyweight.
• Easier networking with OEMs and decision-makers.
• Lower travel costs and easier attendance for teams.

What Is Aerospace Tech Week?

Aerospace Tech Week is a two-day event focused on technology and innovation across the aerospace value chain. It combines conferences, exhibitions, networking sessions, and the ATR Awards.

The 2026 event will bring together over 1,500 industry experts and feature more than 120 speakers from airlines, MROs, OEMs, and tech suppliers.

Topics Covered

Confirmed Speakers Include

• Sabine Hauser – CEO, Airbus
• Jonathan Cornwall – Group Director of Sustainability
