Air Quality & Emissions (AQE) Expo returns to the NEC Birmingham in just one week, bringing together thousands of air quality specialists, emissions engineers, compliance managers and environmental professionals for two days of insight, innovation and networking.

With the countdown now underway, it's time to start planning your visit, and with a packed programme of expert speakers and sessions, there’s plenty to add to your agenda.

From regulatory change and emissions compliance to public health, indoor air quality and the transition to net zero, the 2026 AQE conference programme brings together leading voices from across the sector.

Some of the key sessions to look out for include:

  • ISO14001: The 2026 Revision – ISEP
    With ISO14001 undergoing its latest revision, this session will explore what the changes could mean for environmental management systems and the organisations that rely on them.
  • Future-Ready Wastewater: Simplifying Greenhouse Gas Compliance – Cura Terrae
    As expectations around greenhouse gas reporting and compliance continue to evolve, Cura Terrae will explore the challenges facing wastewater operators and how organisations can prepare for what comes next.
  • Wet Zero: Protecting Indoor Air Quality in the Race to Net Zero – Indoor Air Aware, Environmental Industries Association and Air Quality Working Group
    The race to net zero shouldn't come at the expense of the air we breathe. This session will look at the relationship between decarbonisation and indoor air quality, exploring how organisations can reduce emissions while maintaining healthy indoor environments.
  • Accountability Mechanisms for Air Quality in Local Government – Gloucester City Council
    With local authorities facing growing expectations around air quality, this session will examine accountability and the mechanisms available to drive improvements at a local level.

These are just some of the conversations taking place across the two-day programme, with sessions offering practical insight into the regulatory, technical and environmental challenges facing the industry. See the full speaking agenda here.agenda here.

Of course, the conversations don't stop when the sessions finish.
