Scheduled 10th-11th, June Hardware Pioneers Max has become a leading exhibition in the years following its launch in 2015. For the first time, the event is taking place at Excel, London!
Serving as the UK’s largest conference dedicated to the next generation of smart and connected products, its main themes include cutting-edge technologies, solutions and tools for innovation-driven engineering teams.
The broad variety of technologies found at Hardware Pioneers Max range from semiconductors to embedded processors. Other topics include AI (hardware, edge, etc) power electronics, sensor technology, IoT (cellular and security), FPGA, wireless, RF, electromechanical technology, and more.
Several media outlets will be in attendance to cover the show, with Electronic Specifier as the primary media partner and other partners including (but not limited to) EDN, Electropages, Electronics Weekly, and IoT Now.
With over a decade of success, Hardware Pioneers Max shows no signs of slowing down its growth. As of 2026, 15,000 subscribers receive emails regarding the event’s latest news. As for the show itself, there are expectations of 6000+ attendees, 250+ exhibitors and over 100 speakers attending this year.
The conference is a unique opportunity to meet with leading experts and suppliers that can help engineers make better decisions, learn faster, and make the product development process more efficient. It’s a goldmine of inspiration, and well worth attendance for that alone… to say nothing of the future business and connections that can be established, and the latest technology on display, which may boost development speeds and out-innovate competitors!
Visitors can expect informative talks and advice from the brightest minds of the electronics and IoT industry, with particular insight into how to develop cutting-edge products in today’s fast-paced market. Networking with pioneers in the field is well worth the time, with all levels of business represented on the floor including product managers, technical leaders, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Many of whom will be attending the after-party; so be sure to look into that if you’re ready to mingle!
For exhibitors, there’s plenty of reason to attend this show. According to surveys, 83% of key players in attendance have decision-making power and 50% stand at VP/Director levels or above with clear buying intent. Hardware Pioneers Max is a platform for connecting with engineering teams at some of the most innovative British companies, ranging from Tier Mobility, Dyson, Sony, and more.
