Discover the Latest Industry Innovations

As part of this year’s event, we’re creating a dedicated supplier exhibition where you can connect directly with the industry’s leading brands.

It’s your chance to meet face-to-face, watch live demonstrations of products in action, and get hands-on with interactive product displays. 

Explore Our Product Zones

Throughout the day, you’ll be able to explore six specialist product zones:

Vehicle Wrap Solutions – premium films, tools, and application tips
Architectural Films – transform surfaces with style and durability
Window Films – solar control, privacy, and decorative solutions
Academy Training – courses to grow your skills and business
Manufactured Products – in-house designs for performance and reliability
Reflective Films – solutions for safety, visibility, and compliance

Get Hands-On in Practical Workshops

New for 2025, supplier-led workshops in our wrap room will give you the chance to put theory into practice. Each 45-minute session includes a short live demonstration followed by guided application using professional tools and materials — with direct feedback from industry experts.
