Which nights should you book for Smart Buildings Show 2026 14–15 Oct 2026?
If you are an exhibitor, plan to arrive on 13 October to set up and depart on 16 October after breakdown — most will need at least three nights (13–14–15 Oct). Trade visitors attending only one day may only need one night — for example, stay the night of 14 October if attending on 15 October, or the night of 13 October if attending on 14 October. Since the exhibition runs across two full days with early opening and late closing, a short walk is more valuable than extra amenities.

What is the area around ExCeL London like?
