Join us on 22 October 2026 at St. George’s Park for an exclusive industry event designed to help you navigate today’s toughest operational and sustainability challenges in mining, cement and aggregates.

This convention brings together leading voices from across the industry. Hear first-hand from experts on the latest trends and challenges shaping the UK market, and gain practical insight from customer case studies demonstrating how organisations are reducing costs, cutting CO₂ emissions and improving reliability in real operating conditions.

Throughout the day, SKF specialists will introduce the latest technologies and engineering innovations tailored for heavy industries—helping you move from reactive maintenance to smarter, more sustainable performance.

Expect a dynamic agenda combining expert presentations, real-life transformation stories, and an interactive panel discussion—all designed to spark ideas you can apply immediately on site.

On this page, you can explore a glampse of the topics, review the full programme, and register your place.

Be part of the conversation. Be part of the change.


The programme will have a dynamic character, combining expert presentations, real-life case studies, and an interactive panel discussion - and multiple breaks to extend your network and share experiences with industry peers. At the end of the day, we will take you on a tour to St. George's Park, home of all the English national football teams. We'll close the day with a dinner buffet and a drink.
