Renovating Show in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Taking place from March 19-22 at the NEC Birmingham, the event is expected to attract more than 24,000 homebuilders, renovators, investors and trade professionals.<\/p>\n<p>Organisers say the 2026 edition will feature an increase in exhibitors focused on smart home and AV technologies, reflecting the expanding role of connected systems in modern residential projects.<\/p>\n<p>The show offers a chance to demonstrate the benefits of integrated technology to homeowners actively planning new builds or renovation projects.<\/p>\n<p>According to Michael Holmes, director of content for Homebuilding &amp; Renovating, demand for integrated technology is rising as homeowners increasingly prioritise flexible, multifunctional living spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a fundamental shift in how homes are being designed and delivered,\u201d Holmes said. \u201cThis is being driven by remote working, evolving family dynamics and rising demand for flexible living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The continued growth of remote and hybrid working is expected to be a key theme during the event, with discussions focusing on how changes in lifestyle are shaping property design and specification.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\"> <\/a><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockads.fivefilters.org\/acceptable.html\"> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organisers have said smart home <span class=\"match\">technology<\/span> will gain further prominence at &#8230;
