The Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering (CIPHE) has revealed plans for its biggest ever member-only event taking place on the eve of InstallerSHOW 2026.
Being held in the Lake Lounge at Birmingham NEC, the Monday night event will see heating installers and plumbers join visitors from the World Plumbing Council – who are in the UK for their conference – and the media for a celebration evening of networking, from 7pm until late, in the 140-capacity room.
Only installers and plumbers who are CIPHE members can sign up to register interest for the event here.
Kevin Wellman, Chief Executive Officer at the CIPHE, explains: “We’ve run our popular Monday night event for the past two years, and this year took the decision to expand it as a precursor to the show. I’d like to thank Danfoss Climate Solutions, Marsh Commercial, Altecnic, Lawton Tubes and Resideo for sponsoring the event as without their generous support events like this aren’t possible.
“For many of CIPHE’s heating installers and plumbers, it’ll be the first time they have seen each other since last year’s show, so we’re really looking forward to re-connecting with everyone. It’s going to be a real celebration for our members.”
During the event, the CIPHE will gift a 12-month individual membership in each sponsor’s name to a plumbing or heating professional, apprentice, or student. The aim is to ensure each sponsor’s support delivers lasting impact beyond the event itself – directly contributing to skills development, professional standards, and the future of the industry.
