The 30th Anniversary Celebration
Conference: The Past, Present, & Future
& Gala Dinner
21st-22nd October 2026
Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire NN12 8TN
In October 2026, UKOPA will mark a major milestone: 30 years of working together to keep the UK’s onshore pipeline network safe, reliable and ready for the future.
To celebrate, members, industry partners and special guests will gather at Silverstone on 21–22 October for two days of reflection, learning and looking ahead.
It’s the perfect place to celebrate engineering excellence. Silverstone is synonymous with precision, performance and safety under pressure – exactly the values that have shaped UKOPA’s journey since 1996.
The event will include a special members conference as well as an exhibition featuring some of the leading supply partners to the pipeline industry as well as a gala black-tie dinner on the Wednesday evening (21 October). For details on remaining exhibitor, sponsorship and partner packages please email bookings@ukopa.co.uk for more information.
