 KENILWORTH, England, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MachineBuilding.Live, co-located with FoodManufacturing.Live, and organised by The Engineering Network (TEN), is the UK's dedicated one-day event for industrial automation specialists, machine builders, systems integrators and food and drink manufacturing professionals, returning to the NAEC, Stoneleigh Park, on Wednesday 14th October 2026, for its biggest edition yet.

Registration is free, with every VIP Visitor badge giving all-access entry to the show floor, the CPD-accredited workshop programme and hands-on IO-Link training sessions, plus free parking and a complimentary breakfast roll and brew on arrival.
