SMI announces its first-ever open house event, SMI 360: LIVE

EVERYTHING SMI. EXPERIENCE IT LIVE.

SMI is launching its first-ever open house event, SMI 360: LIVE, this September.

This is a free-to-attend event, open to businesses across the UK. It is not limited to existing customers. It has been created for anyone who wants a closer look at how SMI works, what it offers, and the people behind it.

Across two dates, SMI will bring its full offer together in person at two UK venues, allowing visitors to explore the business in a more hands-on way:

• Twickenham Stadium (South) - 8 September 2026 | 10am to 4pm
• Etihad Stadium (North) - 15 September 2026 | 10am to 4pm

Built around the SMI 360° range, the event brings together products, people, and the wider network behind the business. It offers a clear view of the full SMI offer, from core product ranges through to collaborations and upcoming developments.

A CLOSER LOOK AT HOW SMI WORKS

SMI 360: LIVE is designed to bring the business to life in a practical, accessible way.

Visitors will be able to meet the SMI team and speak directly with the people who support customers day to day.

They’ll also be able to connect with suppliers from across the SMI network and explore the products used in workplaces across the UK, with a wide range in attendance across both dates and more joining the line-up.

View the floor plan below to see what’s on site across the event.

WHAT YOU CAN TAKE AWAY

A key focus of the event is helping visitors connect compliance and standards with real workplace solutions.

Alongside the SMI team and network organisations, the BSIF will be present to support conversations around compliance, standards, and best practice. The aim is to turn these topics into practical understanding that can be applied in day-to-day decision-making.

Across the day, visitors can:

• Speak directly with product specialists
• Explore the SMI product range in person
• See upcoming developments for the MY-SMI® ordering platform
• Meet organisations from across the network and understand their offering

Everything is designed to give a clearer understanding of SMI, its wider network, and how compliance and product choice come together in real workplace settings.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

SMI 360: LIVE is open to professionals across all sectors, including procurement, safety, operations, and facilities management.

It is relevant for anyone involved in sourcing, specifying, or managing workplace supply, whether they already work with SMI or are exploring new options.

The event is designed to give businesses across the UK a direct way to experience SMI and its wider offer.
