The Pharmacy Show

The Pharmacy Show, taking place on 11-12 October 2026 at the NEC Birmingham, is the UK's largest trade show and educational conference for the community and primary care pharmacy sector. This flagship event connects healthcare professionals with cutting-edge knowledge, innovative solutions and valuable networking opportunities, ensuring you stay ahead in the rapidly evolving pharmaceutical landscape.

What’s in store for 2026?

Following the momentum of last year’s success, with over 9,600 pharmacy professionals gathering under one roof across two days, the Pharmacy Show is set to be bigger, bolder and even more valuable for pharmacy professionals.

 Expect:

A bigger exhibition floor with 340+ suppliers, bringing more innovations, solutions and services to support the future of pharmacy.

An enhanced conference programme with 160+ expert speakers, 9 theatres and 130+ sessions covering clinical practice, business growth, digital transformation and healthcare policy.

The return of the Pharmacy Owners’ Forum Theatre, giving current and aspiring owners expert guidance on navigating regulations, costs, competition and growth opportunities.

The introduction of a dedicated Networking Hour will provide an opportunity for everyone to connect. Attendees can take advantage of our Networking Zone to foster meaningful professional conversations, knowledge exchange, and partnership building across the sector.

Be one of the first waiting at the doors. Arrive early on the day and the first 200 attendees will secure an exclusive early arrival prize, available on a first come, first served basis. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

The Pharmacy Show takes place at NEC Birmingham, 11–12 Oct 2026. If you are exhibiting, we design, build and install custom exhibition stands here. Practitioner audiences respond to substance over spectacle — space for a genuine conversation matters more than capturing volume.

The NEC is the UK's largest exhibition venue, and the scale changes what works. Halls are vast with long sightlines, so height, lighting and branding readable from the aisle do more work than detail at eye level. Build and breakdown run to allocated slots, and vehicle access to the loading bays is booked in advance.

A full build covers design, manufacture, transport, installation, on-site management and dismantle, along with the RAMS, structural sign-off and contractor coordination the venue requires. You do not need to wait for a callback to find out what it costs — enter your stand dimensions in our online builder for an instant estimate.
