Showcase is the MPA’s major event of the year - an hour long show which keeps key stakeholders up to date with the industry’s progress on major issues. The recurring theme that has dominated the event since its inception in 2001 has been sustainable development.

Showcase is staged at a top London venue and has been presented by a string of well-known news presenters - George Alagiah, Peter Sissons, John Craven, Fiona Bruce and Krishnan Guru-Murthy. The format is made up of both live and pre-recorded features that cover best practice and case studies from across the industry, as well as looking to the future and the significant challenges that lie ahead.

The prestigious Restoration Awards also take place at Showcase, where member companies compete for the coveted Cooper-Heyman Cup and Chairman's Trophy. Many outstanding entries have been recognised over the years.
