For 80 editions, SALTEX has been where the grounds management industry comes together to connect, learn and move forward.

Since 1938, the show has brought together the people, skills, equipment, solutions and ideas shaping outdoor spaces across sport, education, estates, landscaping and the public realm.

Organised by the Grounds Management Association (GMA), SALTEX unites everyone from apprentices and volunteers to head groundskeepers, suppliers and senior decision-makers.

Join us at the NEC Birmingham on 11-12 November 2026 to discover new solutions, share knowledge, and be part of the conversations driving the industry forward.
