Showcase day

Tuesday 9 to Thursday 11 September 2025
Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC), UK 



The Annual British Conference on Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is a prestigious event where experts in NDT and related technologies meet to share experiences, ideas and the very latest developments that will help shape the future of NDT.

There will be three parallel technical sessions covering a broad range of NDT technologies and applications. This will see experts in NDT meet to exchange experiences, ideas and the very latest developments that will shape the future of NDT.

The 21st International Conference on Condition Monitoring and Asset Management (CM 2025) will be co-located with NDT 2025 to celebrate the 61st Annual British Conference on NDT, which will allow delegates to customise their experience by visiting both events under one roof.

  Showcase Day

BINDT will be hosting a ‘Showcase Day’ on the last day, Thursday 11 September, focusing on NDT, CM and SHM future technologies.

The Showcase Day will provide ample time for visitors to explore all exhibits with demonstrations and plenary talks explaining the future techniques of NDT, CM and SHM. This event will offer engaging activities to inspire the next generation to consider the possible pathways into a career in these fields. The Showcase Day will also include:
