Visiting EDS as a Student

Visiting EDS as a student

We want the Engineering Design Show to remain a celebration of innovation, and encouraging the next generation of engineers is an important part of that.

We welcome students to EDS and recognise the value that experiencing the show, meeting engineering businesses and seeing the latest technologies first-hand can bring to those considering or beginning a career in the industry.

For 2026, we are tailoring part of the show specifically for students, with dedicated features, opportunities and conference content taking place on Day Two from 12pm onwards.

Please note: Day One is strictly reserved for engineering and design professionals. Students will not be admitted on Day One, so please do not travel to the venue as entry will be refused. We warmly encourage you to join us instead on Day Two from 12pm, when the dedicated student experience will take place.

During the dedicated student session, you will have the opportunity to explore the exhibition, meet companies and engineers from across the industry, discover potential career pathways and attend selected conference content designed to give you the greatest possible value from your visit.

We are proud to support the next generation of engineering talent and look forward to welcoming you to EDS on Day Two.
