The Quality Show 2026

The Quality Show is Quality magazine's trade show for the people who inspect, measure and test manufactured products. It shares the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center floor with The ASSEMBLY Show and SMTA International, so a single visit covers quality testing, assembly automation and electronics production. One registration gives access to both The ASSEMBLY Show and The Quality Show.

Who attends

Attendee badges are meant for buyers and end users of assembly and quality equipment, technology and products. Suppliers may attend on a supplier badge, and exhibitor badges are reserved for current exhibitors.

• Quality managers and engineers
• Metrology and inspection specialists
• Manufacturing and process engineers
• Plant and operations leaders

The show floor hosts free, short-format learning alongside a paid conference programme.
