IMechE continues to support members with industry-leading online events

While the ongoing effects of the pandemic continue to create difficulties for holding meetings in person, the Institution has been successfully hosting dozens of webinars and training sessions to support the learning and development of its members.

Across more than 30 online events on a variety of engineering topics held so far in 2020, the team has welcomed over 12,000 virtual attendees, while also assisting regional members to hold their meetings and technical presentations online. With this set to rise as the year goes on, the total number of engineers that the Institution is engaging with looks set to double the figure achieved in 2019.

For those who are unable to join on the day, the IMechE offers a collection of recordings of all presentations to view on demand, which can be accessed via the new Webinar Hub. With over three years of content and growing, it is quickly becoming an invaluable resource for members to stay up to date on recent developments and to review topics that they might have missed.

Here’s a preview of some of the technical events taking place online for engineers across the next months:

• Basic Accounting and the Engineer, 7 September 2020
  Building on previous webinars in this series, the Institution’s Management Group will provide engineers with a detailed overview of how to carry out accounting for engineering projects, together with key guidance for making this straightforward and efficient.
• Crane Safety 2020, 15 September 2020
  Now in its fifth successive year, this flagship event brings together the lifting community to share best practice and learn the lessons from recent case studies. For the first time, engineers will hear insights from international projects in Turkey and Australia, together with input from the industry regulator, membership associations, equipment manufacturers and contractors.
• Frontloading Simulation for Constant Innovation, Even From Your Home Office, 22 September 2020
  Join to understand how to make a smooth and effective transition to simulation technologies for product design. Find out how to enhance complexity and product performance while reducing costs in your design processes, supported by successful use cases and practical tips for overcoming common challenges.
• Steam Turbine Protection Devices: A Path To Resilience, 30 September 2020 
  Join to hear a detailed technical overview of the safety devices involved in steam turbines, together with common challenges. Understand how to effectively identify and manage risk in order to reduce downtimes and enhance the reliability of your steam turbine assets.

Looking further to the future, the latest iterations of the prestigious conferences and seminars, including Vibrations in Rotating Machinery, Nuclear Lifting and High Performance Powertrains, will also take place as online live seminars.
