FREE registration is now open for the Engineering Design Show (EDS), 8–9 October 2025, Coventry Building Society Arena. Following last year’s success, EDS 2025 is set to welcome over 4,800 mechanical, electronic, and embedded design professionals, making it the biggest edition yet.
As the UK’s leading event for the engineering design community, EDS continues to attract innovators, decision-makers, and technical specialists eager to explore the latest technology shaping product development. Across two days, visitors can meet 220+ exhibitors spanning product design, 3D printing, embedded systems, PCB manufacturing, motors, sensors, robotics, and more.
Industry-Leading Suppliers
More than 220 suppliers will gather under one roof, representing electronics, embedded systems, robotics, motors, sensors, materials, and product design. Headline sponsors Würth Elektronik and Solsta highlight the breadth of expertise available. Würth Elektronik showcases its expanding portfolio, including IQD Frequency products, alongside full design-in support and delivery. Solsta (formerly Solid State Supplies) focuses on semiconductors, embedded modules, communications, power management, LED lighting, relays, switches and optoelectronics.
Visitors can also explore products from Maxon Motor, Telonic Instruments, Yokogawa Test & Measurement, Peli Products, Hitek Electronic Materials, TTI, Robafoam, Smallfry Industrial Design, and The Peak Group, reflecting the diversity of industries represented at EDS.
Conference programme
The 2025 conference is designed for design engineers across sectors from aerospace and automotive to electronics and consumer products. Attendees will gain insights into transformative technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing, while sessions provide strategies for sustainable product development, patent protection and career-focused guidance.
Key highlights include:
- Don’t Forget Me! – A human-centred approach to simulation and digital twins (Claire Palmer, Loughborough University)
- Breaking the Reactive Cycle – Strategic component obsolescence management (Dunstan Power, ByteSnap Design)
- Panel discussions on supply chain resilience, security, and defence careers (Angela Lamont)
- Pass EMC the First Time – Design it right from the start (Min Zhang, Telonic)
Work in defence
New in 2025, the Work in Defence feature, in partnership with The Engineer, provides a platform for connection with leading defence organisations. Attendees can explore skills pathways, career routes and opportunities at the Work in Defence Roundtable hosted by Jon Excell.
What’s on?
EDS 2025 brings engineering creativity to life. Visitors can:
- See the Dynium Robot, an autonomous agricultural vehicle with OxDrive high-torque electric hubs, performing precision tasks in orchards and polytunnels.
- Explore KUKA Robotics’ next-generation Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), featuring flexible fleet management software, no-code programming, and solutions for automation integration.
- Take part in the Rollapaluza cycling challenge, racing on Condor track bikes with real-time scoring on a giant display.
- Discover student innovation at the NTU Student Showcase, including Joshua Dennis returning with his business Dennistries, unveiling the NextGen humanoid robot line, including NextGen LEO.
- Experience Creative Hubb Ltd’s bomb disposal suit, demonstrating life-saving engineering and innovative textiles.
These live experiences capture the spirit of EDS, letting attendees meet innovators, test technologies, and witness breakthroughs in robotics, human-focused design and advanced materials.
Networking and community
Hands-on workshops provide practical skills for design engineers, while the Chill & Charge Zone offers space to recharge and network. The EDS Party in Dhillons Lounge caps off day one with cocktails, live music and raffle prizes.
