Helitech Expo 2027
Helitech Expo 2027
Helitech Expo is the UK's leading business event dedicated to the rotorcraft industry. The next edition takes place 28-29 September 2027 at ExCeL London (ExCeL Exhibition Centre, Sandstone Lane, London E16 1XL) - Tuesday and Wednesday - with published opening hours of 10:00-16:00 on both days.
How the 2027 dates were confirmed
The brand's own site (helitech.co.uk) is currently behind a Cloudflare challenge for automated clients and still carries the 2025 edition banner, so the next-edition dates were taken from the organiser's own official source: the co-located DroneX site (dronexpo.co.uk), operated by the same legal entity - Fortem Air Ltd / Uncrewed Tech Ltd, company registration number 13230606, The Brewhouse, Georges Square, Bristol. DroneX's official announcement states that the show returns to ExCeL London on 28-29 September 2027, matched by a 'Save the date: DroneX 2027' post on the show's LinkedIn page.
Helitech Expo and DroneX have run as a single co-located show at ExCeL London on an identical two-day date band at every edition - 2021 (5-6 October), 2022 (7-8 September), 2023 (26-27 September), 2024 (24-25 September), 2025 (30 September - 1 October) and 2026 (29-30 September) - and one ticket covers both, as it does the Advanced Air Mobility Expo. 28-29 September 2027 falls on a Tuesday and Wednesday, matching that established pattern.
Programme and scale
Around 300 hand-picked exhibitors and more than 150 expert-led seminars, drawing roughly 3,000-4,000 pre-qualified visitors, operators and buyers. The show is organised around the Helitech Connect networking area, the Keynote Theatre and the industry awards, with feature zones spanning:
