CEFLIVE25 has officially wrapped, and what a phenomenal two days it was. To everyone who joined us at the NEC Birmingham, whether you came to learn, connect, explore, or just soak up the buzz, thank you. From the whole team here at CEF, we couldn’t have done it without you.
Big numbers, big energy
Over 12,000 attendees walked through the doors, making CEFLIVE25 our biggest event yet. We hosted over 100 suppliers, ran multiple Techtalks and TechTraining sessions, and handed out over £60K worth of giveaways. There were laughs, handshakes, coffees, and even a few jaw-drops when the prizes rolled out.
From industry veterans to first-time sparkies, the atmosphere on the floor was electric—literally.
Top moments from the show
Trying to pick a single highlight? Not a chance. Some of the standout moments included:
George Clarke took the stage as our host, bringing charisma, real industry insight, and that signature charm that kept the crowds hooked.
A surprise giveaway winner walking away with a brand-new Ford Transit Electric Van worth over £45k.
The buzz on the Learning Zone, where we saw packed-out sessions on everything from the 4th Amendment of the 18th Edition, industry trends and expert tips.

The power behind the show
It wasn’t just what was on the stands; it was the energy in every corner of the hall that made CEFLIVE25 so memorable. From expert-led product demos to face-to-face time with the industry’s leading brands, everything was designed to help you get hands-on, ask questions, and walk away with something genuinely useful.
We worked closely with our suppliers and partners to make sure every demo, every session, and every square metre of the show delivered value for the trade. If you came looking for insights, upgrades, or inspiration, you got it.
