Lewis CaliburnPeerless-AV, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary this year, has announced the return of its AV Showcase on 12th and 13th of May at Lord’s Cricket ground in Central London.
Now in its sixth year, the event will bring together AV manufacturers, innovators and decision-makers for a program of exhibits, insights and networking.
“Since we organised our inaugural event in 2021, the AV market has responded positively, so now reaching our sixth consecutive year feels like a significant milestone,” says Keith Dutch, Managing Director EMEA, Peerless-AV. “The continued growth and development of our event reflects the unbelievable ongoing support we receive within the AV community – from the market leading manufacturers who exhibit, the industry voices that deliver seminars and panels to the diverse range of attendees from across the professional AV spectrum and end user vertical markets.”
Each year Peerless-AV strives to evolve the showcase, retaining and refining popular components such as the keynote speakers and education sessions from previous years, whilst adding new elements.
The 2026 AV Showcase will bring fresh brands added to the show floor, bringing developments and unique solutions in the areas of audio, LCD/LED displays, workplace technology, signal processing, digital signage, AVoIP and video signal management.
A thought leadership programme will continue to be a fundamental constituent in the exhibition, providing attendees the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the key challenges and potential opportunities ahead in the AV industry.
The platform allows industry specialists to share their insights in the topical subject areas with speakers and panellists to be announced in the coming weeks. This year coincides with LDSW ’26 (London Digital Signage Week) to further broaden the reach of the showcase to an expanded audience and additional markets.
To drive end user engagement, Peerless-AV is offering a VIP experience to go behind the scenes at ‘The Home of Cricket’, with an ex-England International leading a tour of the ground.
The showcase will also play host to Rise AV in cooperation with their 2026 mentorship programme, designed to support and empower women in the commercial AV, live events and production technology sectors.
At the close of day one of the showcase, exhibitors and visitors are invited to enjoy a networking drinks reception with views of the ground.
Registration is officially open for the 2026 AV showcase. Sign up here and find more information on the event home page.
