Our Story to InstallerSHOW New York

How did we get here?

Installer started as an independent magazine in 2009 and has since grown into the key brand for the HVAC and plumbing industries.

InstallerSHOW launched in 2015 at the CBS arena Coventry and grew every year before moving to the NEC Birmingham in 2021. In 2026 the event spanned 5 halls of the NEC, bringing together over 900 exhibitors and 40,000 visitors, making it one of the largest and most premium B2B trade shows in the UK.

The success of InstallerSHOW is down to putting the audience first, providing visitors with a great atmosphere, an interactive experience, comprehensive live content, the latest products, CPD learning, show-only offers and a fantastic day out.
