Leading players from across engineering sectors are gearing up for Advanced Engineering 2017, the UK’s largest annual gathering of advanced engineering professionals.
The Show has already attracted some of the industry’s biggest names including Nissan; Airbus; Hexcel; and Dassault Systèmes, who will be looking to meet and do business across the supply chain.
Visitors will see cutting edge technology and materials, including: specialist industry tier parts, components & sub-systems; jigs & tooling suppliers; electronics contract manufacturers; ... and many more from over 600 exhibiting firms.
Alison Willis, industrial divisional director at Easyfairs, the organisers of the exhibition, said: “We’re very excited about this year’s exhibition. As well as having a new Connected Manufacturing zone, we will bring together the latest advances in engineering, covering innovations and novel information systems; and driving efficiency and profitability to enable UK manufacturers to compete and grow in a global market.
“Engineers put on a real show of strength last year and demonstrated the fantastic range of capabilities and amazing innovations the country has to offer when it comes to advanced engineering. This year we know they’ll surpass themselves whilst showcasing their expertise to a primed audience of ready to buy attendees interested in sourcing products and solutions!”
The show takes place on the 1&2 November at the NEC, Birmingham. It is the UK’s only event 100% dedicated to R&D, design, test, inspection, production, procurement and assembly, connecting the entire UK advanced engineering supply chain, from large and small companies, through to top tier industry players in a two-day free to attend exhibition and high-level conference.
Co-locating as part of the show are five zones:
- Aero Engineering
- Composites Engineering
- Automotive Engineering
- Performance Metals Engineering
- Connected Manufacturing
The show will have a raft of speakers and conference topics, including talks from Composites UK, Toyota Tsusho, Boeing, SIEMENS and more. Topics will include how specific engineering problems have been overcome, as well as more strategic issues such as the fourth industrial revolution, Brexit, additive manufacturing and advances in aluminium engineering.
Advanced Engineering 2017 is newly ‘Continuing Professional Development (CPD)’ - accredited for this year, by the CPD Certification Service. Recognised by employers, and which complements the policies of professional institutes and academic bodies.
