Industrial Forum 2026: Protecting Critical Infrastructure

About the event

The Industrial Forum has run since 2011 and brings together electrical engineers, asset managers and safety and maintenance leaders for a day of practical sessions, case studies and live demonstrations. The theme for 2026 is Protecting Critical Infrastructure.

Industrial sites are asking more of their HV assets than the assets were specified for, and an unplanned outage costs more than it used to. The day covers what condition data can tell you about switchgear, transformers and cables before a failure rather than after one.

Event themes

1. Switchgear, transformers and cables
   Managing the assets that keep critical operations running

2. Electrical resilience in essential infrastructure
   Reducing risk through asset visibility and monitoring

3. Managing ageing assets
   Understanding asset health to reduce the risk of failure
