With just three months to go, preparations are underway for Build North Expo 2026, the North’s premier construction and innovation showcase.
The event will take place at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool on Tuesday 16th June 2026, set against the city’s iconic waterfront.
A Hub for Construction, Technology, and Energy Innovation
Build North Expo 2026 promises to bring together major players from the construction, built environment, energy, and technology sectors. Organisers say this year’s edition will be the largest yet, offering businesses a platform to connect, collaborate, and showcase solutions that are shaping the future of the North’s construction and infrastructure landscape.
Nick Fellows, Managing Director of organisers Crosby Associates Media, said:
“Liverpool’s position as the gateway to the North makes it the ideal location to connect with decision-makers, specifiers, contractors, developers and suppliers. Whether your goal is to launch a new product, build relationships or raise your brand profile, Build North Expo offers a dynamic platform to do business, share knowledge and showcase success.”

Construction Sector at a Turning Point
The timing of Build North Expo 2026 is significant. The construction sector continues to face skills shortages, with contractors and developers under pressure to attract and retain talent while delivering on ambitious project pipelines.
Regulatory reform, building safety requirements, and sustainability targets are increasingly central to project delivery. Net zero implementation, carbon reporting, retrofit programmes, and renewable energy integration are now embedded into project briefs, creating both challenges and opportunities for construction businesses.
Digital adoption is accelerating across the industry, from BIM and data-led asset management to AI-driven planning and offsite construction innovations, improving productivity, compliance, and transparency across the supply chain.
Build North Expo provides a forum for the sector to discuss challenges, explore practical solutions, and form new partnerships, all within one high-profile location.
Exhibitor Opportunities and Engagement
The 2026 edition offers businesses a chance to showcase products and technologies in action, with dedicated zones designed for live demonstrations and industry engagement. From start-ups to large contractors, the event is being billed as a must-attend date for construction, housing, energy, and technology professionals in the North.
