Emergency Tech Show 2027 at NEC Birmingham: two days of blue light innovation

The Emergency Tech Show (ETS) brings together police, fire and rescue, ambulance, resilience and local authority leaders with the suppliers redefining the sector's operational technology. Across two days at the NEC Birmingham, visitors see live demonstrations of digital evidence, data interoperability, critical communications, mobility and incident response – focused on what works in the field, not on theory. The CPD-accredited content programme, delivered with Emergency Services Times and partners including the Police Digital Service and NPCC Digital, balances frontline case studies with technical sessions, while 150+ exhibitors spread across Halls 17, 18 and 19 showcase over 5,000 products and solutions. Attendees include digital and IT teams, operational managers and public sector procurement leads shaping the next generation of UK emergency services. Co-located with The Emergency Services Show, ETS delivers a complete picture of emergency response, from embedded technology to vehicles and frontline equipment. Whether you are starting your digital journey or upgrading existing capabilities, the show gives you a single, practical space to compare suppliers, test solutions and build the partnerships behind safer, more effective public service.
