CAB announces Spring Forum 2026 at the National Space Centre

The Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB) has announced that its Spring Forum 2026 will take place at the National Space Centre in Leicester on 5 March, offering members an evening of industry insight, networking and collaboration.

The Spring Forum is said to be a key date in CAB’s annual events programme, bringing together fabricators, system companies, installers, suppliers and sector partners for updates on technical and regulatory change, sustainability developments and market trends.

CAB says the event continues its commitment to delivering high-value forums that combine expert knowledge with meaningful opportunities for members to connect.

CAB Chief Executive, Nigel Headford, said the 2026 Forum will build on the success of recent events, which have seen record engagement across the association’s technical and sustainability initiatives.

“Our Forums are designed to give members direct access to leading voices on regulation, innovation and industry change,” he said.

“With so much happening across competency, sustainability and the wider regulatory landscape, this event is an important opportunity to come together, exchange ideas and look ahead to the challenges and opportunities shaping aluminium in construction.”

Set against the backdrop of the National Space Centre’s exhibitions and galleries, the event will include a programme of presentations followed by an evening networking reception. Full speaker details and booking information will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Spring Forum follows a highly successful year of CAB events, including the 2025 Technical Conference at Loughborough University and the Spring Forum in Hull, which put a spotlight on sustainability, aluminium recycling and the Building Safety Act

CAB’s 2026 programme will continue this focus, with further opportunities for members to engage on regulation, innovation and best practice.

“We look forward to welcoming members to Leicester,” Nigel added. “The National Space Centre is a fantastic venue, and it will set the tone for a forward-looking, future-focused event.”
