The whole chain, one hall
Seven pillars, from silicon and actuation through to on-road autonomy. Specify, compare and negotiate without leaving the building.
Where robotics gets assembled.
The enterprises deploying robots at scale, in one room with the companies building them.

Three days that replace a year of meetings.
Buying a robot fleet means sourcing actuators, perception, software, integration capacity, service terms and financing. Today those live at six different events. ASSEMBLE puts them on one floor.
A room composed on purpose
Registration is verified against what your organisation sells, so the operators on the floor are there to deploy, not to prospect.
Meetings you asked for
Request who you want to see. Both sides opt in before anything is booked, so your schedule stays yours.
Who should attend
Four groups, one buying decision between them.
Deployers & operators
Manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare and energy leaders putting robots into live operations.
- Meet every supplier on your shortlist in three days
- Compare working systems side by side before you specify
- Hear deployment results from peers who already bought
Founders & builders
Robotics hardware, software and platform companies with something to sell.
- Get in front of enterprises with live deployment budgets
- Demonstrate to buyers instead of to competitors
- Meet the integrators and channel that carry you to scale
Investors
Venture, growth, corporate and infrastructure capital funding physical AI.
- See the full chain in one week, not seven events
- Hear buyers describe demand in their own words
- Meet founders across all seven pillars in one place
Integrators & channel
Systems integrators, distributors and service partners who make deployments work.
- Meet vendors looking for delivery capacity
- Find operators who need a partner, not a product
- Set your line card for the next two years
The programme
Seven tracks running across three days, each built around the questions that decide a deployment.
-
P1
Components, Sensing & Compute
Actuation, perception hardware, edge silicon.
-
P2
Embodied Intelligence & Software
Foundation models, simulation, control stacks.
-
P3
Industrial & Fixed Automation
Arms, cells, machine tending, inspection.
-
P4
Mobile, Logistics & Field
AMRs, warehouse systems, outdoor and field robots.
-
P5
Humanoid & General-Purpose
General-purpose platforms and their suppliers.
-
P6
Integration, Deployment & RaaS
Integrators, fleet operations, robots-as-a-service.
-
P7
On-Road Autonomy
Trucking, delivery, and the vehicle supply chain.
Speakers
Announcements begin once the programme committee is seated. Operators who have deployed at scale lead the platform — not vendors presenting roadmaps.
Proposals are open across all seven tracks. Every submission gets an answer.
What is included
Everything in the pass, across all three days.
Seven tracks, one floor
Components through on-road autonomy, programmed so the whole buying decision is in one building.
Curated meetings
Request the companies you want to meet. Both sides opt in, so nothing lands on your schedule uninvited.
The exhibition floor
Working systems, not banner stands. Every exhibitor demonstrates something that runs.
Deployment case studies
Operators presenting what they installed, what it cost, and what went wrong.
Executive roundtables
Closed-door sessions by sector, capped small enough that everyone speaks.
The evening programme
Receptions and dinners built for the conversations the sessions start.
Sponsor and exhibit
93 commercial positions across six tiers, from the startup pavilion to title partnership. Founding rates are open now.
-
A verified buying audience
Registration is checked against revenue source, so the deployers on the floor are deploying, not selling.
-
Founding rates, locked
Edition One rates hold for founding partners as the show grows.
-
The whole chain in one hall
Your customers, your channel and your capital are all in the building.
