MRO Europe 2025: Powering Next-Gen MRO Solutions

The aviation maintenance calendar already has a red-circle week next year: MRO Europe 2025 lands in London on 14-16 October. Hosted by Aviation Week Network, this gathering is where 11,000-plus engineers, airline buyers, and tech disruptors swap data, deals, and big ideas.

Smart 145 won’t just be walking the aisles—we’re rolling in our mobile demo lab, letting visitors stress-test the cloud MRO platform built to shave hours off every work order. Meet the team, grab a hands-on preview, and see why digital workflows beat paper trails every time. Keep reading to map out the event, the trends, and the quickest way to your Smart 145 demo slot.

Why MRO Europe 2025 Is the Can’t-Miss Event for the Aviation Aftermarket

Celebrating its 25th edition, MRO Europe has outgrown the label of “trade show” to become the region’s strategic command centre for aircraft maintenance decision-makers. The 2025 conference convenes a C-suite audience and 30+ expert speakers who will debate supply-chain resilience, sustainable operations, next-gen materials, and the economics of fleet renewal—turning panel rooms into real-time playbooks for the year ahead. 

Scale matters, too: 11,500+ attendees and 590+ exhibitors transform ExCeL London into a living map of the airline supply chain, while the free-to-attend Go Live! Theater streams case studies and innovation sprints straight onto the show floor. Whether you’re an airline AM leader hunting for cost-saving tech or an OEM scouting partnerships, this is where the aftermarket’s biggest deals and boldest ideas get signed, simplified, and set in motion.

Key Details: Location, Schedule & Agenda

Circle 14–16 October 2025 on your calendar: MRO Europe opens its senior-level conference at ExCeL London on 14–15 Oct, followed by a two-day exhibition on 15–16 Oct. The docklands venue is one DLR stop from the Elizabeth line, keeping city-centre hotels and both London airports within a 20-minute hop. Inside, sessions flow from main-stage keynotes to the free Go Live! Theater, while curated lounges and evening receptions extend networking well past show hours. 

How to Participate: Registration, Sponsorship, and More

Secure your badge through Aviation Week’s online portal—the system lets you pick a no-cost exhibition pass or a full-access conference ticket in minutes. Airlines and lessors can apply for an Airline VIP Pass that unlocks a private lounge and hosted-buyer meetings, while suppliers still have time to book floor space or choose a sponsorship bundle that plants branding across signage, lanyards and the event app. Speaker proposals for fresh case studies in the Go Live! Theater remain open until spring, making it the quickest route to thought-leadership status in London.
