Starting in 2023, Smart Manufacturing Week planted 3380 trees in our forest, marking the first time that the show had a dedicated program towards sustainability and offsetting carbon emissions by planting a tree for each one of our 10,355 attendees.

Smart Manufacturing Week
In 2024 as the show grew, we were delighted to smash the record planting 24,847 to reflect our attendance of 13,428 people through the doors over the 2 days, an over 30% increase on the previous year.
The show returns again on the 4-5 June 2025 for the biggest edition yet, with an expected audience of over 13,500. We are as committed as ever to growing the forest further and making it a true reflection of the show’s emphasis on sustainability and net zero. With new features, more exhibitors, and tons of fun lined up, we really hope you can join us there!
