Hardware & IoT Events in London

Hardware, robotics, and IoT events in Europe run a wider range than most categories, from evening workshops where beginners solder their first ESP32 weather station to week-long industrial trade shows. On one end sit the big anchor conferences: Embedded World in Nuremberg (probably the largest event of its kind in the world), Hannovermesse, Battery Tech Expo, Quantum Industry Day, IoT Tech Expo. On the other end sit the community workshops: 3D printing for beginners, laser-cutter training, drone filming workshops, Raspberry Pi and Arduino club nights, microbial fuel cell experiments, and the long tail of fab-lab and makerspace sessions that introduce new people to the tools.

This page narrows the London calendar to Hardware & IoT events. It's a subset of United Kingdom's wider tech-event schedule, useful when you want something specific to go to in the city this month.

London has one of the largest single-city tech-event calendars in the world. Every major engineering discipline sustains multiple monthly meetups here (AI-applied, ML research, backend, frontend, cloud, DevOps, security, data), and every major international conference has a London edition or satellite. Engineering leadership is unusually strong: LeadDev London is effectively a pilgrimage event, and CTO Craft, staff-engineer communities, and product-management meetups (Mind The Product) run year-round.

TechWorks 30th Anniversary Summit brings the UK semiconductors to systems ecosystem together for a one day high-impact event.

Our Four Summit Themes

Build: Materials, Manufacturing & Devices (Hosted: NMI)

From novel materials to advanced packaging, this session examines how innovation across the semiconductor value chain is enabling the next generation of technologies and devices. We will explore materials science, equipment development, process engineering, packaging, and test to share how foundational advances are unlocking new capabilities.

As traditional scaling reaches its limits, the industry is turning to heterogeneous integration, new materials, and smarter manufacturing. AI-driven design and process optimisation, next-generation fabrication tools, and advanced packaging techniques are accelerating development, and we will also look to the future possibilities which this enables.

Create: Systems, Integration & Verification (Hosted: AESIN & DESN)

Complex Cyber-Physical Systems demand robust and functionally safe end-to-end system engineering. This session will explore digital, mixed signal design and software-defined systems, software factory and related design tools, edge-AI, automated decision-driven sensing, cyber resilience, smart power and energy systems and precise positioning, navigation, and timing.

Secure: Cyber Resilience, Trust & Quantum Safety (Hosted: IoTSF)

In an increasingly connected and AI-driven world, identity, security and trust are critical system requirements. This session examines the interplay between technology innovation in both threat and mitigation, together with increasing international regulation. We also consider the role of AI and quantum as these technologies change the very nature of trust, identity and security.

Scale: Investing in the future of UK semiconductors (Hosted: UKSC)

Turning innovation into impact requires more than breakthrough technology. This session brings together perspectives on investment, commercialisation, scaling UK semiconductor innovation, and building resilient international partnerships and supply chains. It also explores how research is translated into sustainable commercial success, and how we develop the workforce needed to support long-term growth.

Explore IoT, Digital Twins & Enterprise Transformation, IoT Security, IoT Connectivity, Smart Infrastructures & Automation, Data Analytics.

The IoT Tech Expo Global, part of TechEx Global, is the ultimate gathering for industry leaders, visionaries, and tech enthusiasts.
