NDT 2026: 63rd Annual Non-Destructive Testing Conference

The 63rd Annual Non-Destructive Testing Conference (NDT 2026) establishes itself as the UK’s premier technical and scientific event dedicated to non-destructive evaluation and condition monitoring. From September 8-10, 2026, experts from around the world will gather to present the most disruptive advances that are ensuring the safety and reliability of global infrastructure.

Why attend NDT 2026? Organized by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT), this conference is the ultimate forum to learn about cutting-edge academic research and industrial applications. NDT 2026 offers a unique balance between pure science and practical implementation in critical sectors such as aerospace, nuclear, oil and gas, and renewable energy.

Technical Areas of Focus:

• Advances in Ultrasound (UT): From Phased Array (PAUT) to Full Matrix Capture (FMC) and Total Focusing Method (TFM).
• Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography: Innovations in 3D visualization for the detection of internal defects.
• NDT 4.0 and Digitalization: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data and robotics in inspection processes.
• Condition Monitoring (CM): Vibration analysis techniques, thermography and acoustic emission for predictive maintenance.
• Inspection of Composite Materials: Challenges and solutions for new structures in the automotive and wind energy industries.
