The most demanding industries in the world run on performance engineering. This is where it converges.
In performance-critical industries, engineering decisions carry real consequence. PEM Expo is the international exhibition for engineers, procurement specialists and technology leaders working at the frontier of performance-critical design and manufacturing.
Bringing together the world's most demanding sectors under one roof to enable technology transfer,
supplier discovery and the conversations that only happen when sector boundaries come down.
Six sectors. One shared mission. Whether it races, flies, sails, rolls, launches or hauls - PEM Expo connects the engineers who push every boundary of performance engineering and technology.
The most demanding engineering environment on Earth. From F1 grid to hypercar limited edition — the birthplace of innovations adopted across every other sector at PE EXPO.
The gold standard for precision engineering under extreme conditions. Aerospace drives material science; Defence demands mission-critical reliability where failure is never an option.
Michigan is becoming one of North America's most active NewSpace supply chains. Companies across the state are building the components, propulsion systems, and structures that will define the next generation of launch.
Superyachts to naval vessels to autonomous platforms — marine engineering demands the same lightweight, high-strength, low-volume solutions as every other PEM EXPO sector.
North America's rail network is undergoing its most significant infrastructure investment in decades. Demand for lightweight structures, advanced propulsion and high-performance braking is creating new supply chain opportunities across the continent.
Mining, construction, agriculture and specialist vehicles demand low-volume, high-specification engineering. Hydrogen powertrains and electrification are driving an unprecedented supply chain challenge.
The most advanced engineering is no longer developed in isolation. The solution that defines performance in one sector becomes the breakthrough in another. PEM Expo is built on this principle, a show floor designed to move proven capability across industry boundaries and into new applications.
From high-performance combustion engines to hybrid architectures, electrification and advanced thermal management, power and propulsion define what any platform can do. PEM Expo brings together the engineers defining performance across both current and next-generation systems.
Development cycles are collapsing. Winning organisations prototype faster, iterate smarter and industrialise at pace, through integrated supply chains, rapid manufacturing and supplier partnerships that compress timelines. PEM Expo showcases the technology and the people making it happen.
The racetrack. The wind tunnel. The flight-critical system. Engineering must perform where failure is not an option. PEM Expo brings together the validation technologies, test methodologies and proven solutions trusted in the most demanding operating environments on earth.
The limits of performance are defined at the material level. Advanced composites, high-performance metals, additive manufacturing and surface engineering, the disciplines that determine strength, weight, durability and thermal performance. PEM Expo puts materials at the centre, not the sideline.
PEM Expo puts your technology in front of the engineers and procurement leaders driving decisions across the world's most demanding industries.
As a cross-sector show, your audience isn't limited to one vertical. A composites supplier finds performance engineers and prime contractors on the same floor.
Free visitor registration drives attendance. You get a qualified room, real conversations and sector-crossing reach that a single-vertical show cannot deliver.
PEM Expo is free to attend and built for engineers who want to find what they didn't know they were looking for.
Over two days, the show floor brings together materials specialists, propulsion engineers, advanced manufacturers and performance validation experts.
This is not a general trade show. The people in the room are building the next generation of high-performance systems
The defining advantage of PEM Expo - solutions born in one sector, adopted by five others. This is where F1 meets rail, where aerospace meets marine, where space meets off-highway.
Located within Metro Detroit — the historic heart of American automotive and advanced manufacturing — Vibe Credit Union Showplace places PEM Expo at the centre of one of North America's most important engineering ecosystems.
Positioned in Metro Detroit, PEM Expo gains direct access to one of the world's most established engineering and manufacturing supply chains — from automotive OEMs and motorsport technology through to aerospace, electrification and advanced materials.
Vibe Credit Union Showplace offers interstate connectivity, nearby international airports, large-scale exhibition infrastructure and access to engineering organisations across the Midwest manufacturing corridor.
