NEW DATES: 25-27 JANUARY 2021 NEC BIRMINGHAM
Travelling to and from an event is an important part of the overall experience. The NEC Group venues, at the heart of the country’s transport network, all offer excellent access by road, rail and air.
Please choose how you will be travelling to to your event for a more detailed explanation.
Birmingham is at the hub of the UK motorway network, enabling visitors to travel directly from the M6, M1, M40 and M42. The NEC has its own on-site car parks while the city-centre venues are served by a car park at The NIA and others in the immediate vicinity.

The NEC and The NEC Arena are served by Birmingham International station, connected by a covered bridgelink. The NIA, The ICC and Symphony Hall are minutes from Birmingham New Street, the UK’s largest interchange station. London is only 90 minutes away and trains also run direct to many regional towns and cities.

Drives & Controls Exhibition and co-located shows rescheduled from April 2020 to 25th-27th January 2021 at NEC, Birmingham, Halls 9 & 10
DFA Media, organiser of Drives & Controls Exhibition and co-located shows, has been actively monitoring and following advice regarding the Coronavirus outbreak (Covid-19) over the past weeks. It has been decided that Drives & Controls Exhibition and its co-located events will be postponed and rescheduled for 25th-27th January 2021, which will take place alongside MACH Exhibition. The co-location of events include:
Drives & Controls
Fluid Power & Systems
Air-Tech
Plant & Asset Management
Smart Industry Expo
We have been following UK Government guidelines and working with the rolling advice from the public health authorities and other organisations, but the effects, actual and projected, of Coronavirus are becoming increasingly evident across all aspects of our lives both here in the UK and across the globe. As a responsible events organiser, ensuring the health and wellbeing of all our exhibitors, contractors and visitors (many of whom face travel restrictions) has to be our top priority and it is therefore with reluctance that we have taken the decision to postpone the event until January.
By working closely with our venue partners, THE NEC, we have been able to secure rescheduled dates for these events in January, alongside MACH. Current modelling projections suggest that the virus will peak in Spring and decline thereafter during the following months allowing our exhibitors the opportunity to present their technologies, innovations and solutions in an upturning market with no restrictions on travel.
The rescheduled date provides clarity and ensures we have time and space to deliver the same high-quality event we promised, providing a safe and secure environment conducive to business, networking and career development for the manufacturing sector that we serve.
Thank you for your continued support during this unprecedented period and we look forward to working with all our partners to deliver a safe and successful event in January.
