The Advanced Engineering exhibition is celebrating its tenth birthday with its biggest event yet and a new Nuclear Engineering zone.
The 2018 show builds on the success of last year’s exhibition, where attendance increased by 15% on the previous year. Visitors stayed on average just under three hours at the show, many looking for new products and services.
The other show zones are: Aerospace Engineering, Composites Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Performance Metals and Connected Manufacturing. In addition, the Enabling Innovation showcaseis being repeated this year. It provides a unique opportunity for 50 start-ups & researchers to showcase the next generation of exciting new technologies.
As last year, the exhibition will be held in halls 2, 3 and 3A, though now there are two entrances to the Show, making navigation of the huge exhibition space easier.
Last year the show as the UK’s largest meeting place for advanced engineers and attracted some of the industry’s biggest names including Airbus; Boeing; Jaguar Land Rover; Hexcel; and Dassault Systèmes, who met and did business across the supply chain, with visitors from a range of engineering specialisms including: automation, design& test engineering, process control, machining and many more.
The two-day open conference is accredited by the CPD Accreditation Service.
Alison Willis, industrial divisional director at Easyfairs, organisers of the show, said: “Happy 10th birthday to the Advanced Engineering Show! We have hit double figures and are expecting a record response from visitors and exhibitors this year.
“The new Nuclear Engineering zone will tap into the technical excellence of this high growth sector, addressing nuclear energy new-build, operation and supply chain. This has huge importance for the energy security of the country, and provides a great opportunity for companies to join a new and dynamic supply chain”
The showtakes place on the 31st Oct & 1st Nov, at the NEC, Birmingham, UK. Find out more by visiting www.advancedengineeringuk.com
