The HCAA hosted it's first ever Trade Expo in August 2026 and we're delighted to announce, due to it's success, it will now be an annual event!

HCAA President, Derek Harris, commented: "It was a fantastic night and demonstrated just how valuable it is to bring our industry together under one roof.

"With a fantastic response from both exhibitors and attendees, the event provided a unique opportunity for hydraulic consultants, suppliers and industry professionals to connect, discover new products and technologies, share knowledge and strengthen relationships.

"For HCAA, the Trade Expo was about more than simply showcasing products and services — it was about creating a stronger, more connected industry. Our Affiliate members play an important role in supporting the hydraulic consulting sector, and the event gave them the opportunity to engage directly with the people who specify, recommend and use their products and services on a daily basis.

"This is just the beginning and we look forward to building on the success of this year's event and making it even more valuable for the industry next year.”

We'll be announcing next year's date before the end of this year, so keep an eye out in your inbox.
