The International Composites Summit (ICS) is building strong early momentum for its 2026 event, with active discussions underway with sponsors and partners across the composites sector. Returning to The Drum in Wembley, U.K. from Dec. 1-2, ICS continues to establish itself as a commercially focused platform that brings together businesses, investors and innovators from across the global composites value chain.

Following the launch of its 2026 campaign, ICS is seeing increased engagement from organizations looking to play a more active role in shaping the industry’s future. Discussions are progressing with composites manufacturers and industry stakeholders who recognize the need for stronger connection, collaboration and commercial alignment.

This early engagement reflects a growing confidence in ICS as a platform that delivers more than visibility, offering meaningful opportunities to connect with decision-makers and develop new business relationships.

Notably, ICS’ 2026 edition marks a significant step forward in both scale and industry involvement. Planned developments include:

Increased participation from companies across the value chain.
Greater collaboration with industry associations to strengthen end-sector representation.
Expanded exhibition opportunities to showcase innovation and capability.
A broader careers and skills focus to support long-term industry growth.

These developments are designed to create a more integrated environment, where businesses of all sizes can engage, collaborate and identify new opportunities.

ICS is not positioned to compete with established global events such as JEC World or CAMX. Instead, it complements them, supporting the industry through targeted networking, curated introductions and initiatives such as ICS Innovation Hubs.

Sponsors and partners engaging early will play a key role in shaping the direction of the 2026 summit, influencing content, conversations and connections.

A timely opportunity for industry leaders

As the composites industry continues to evolve, the need for platforms that support real business outcomes is becoming increasingly clear.

ICS offers organizations the opportunity to be part of something that is growing in both scale and importance, providing access to a global network and a highly targeted audience. With further partnerships in development, ICS 2026 is quickly positioning itself as a key meeting point for those looking to engage, collaborate and lead within the composites sector.
