Advanced Engineering exists to celebrate innovation and facilitate networking in the vertical industrial sectors that exist in the UK. Whether that’s aerospace, automotive, advanced metals, connected manufacturing or even space and satellite, it’s guaranteed that attendees will meet new, valuable contacts.
Advanced Engineering is also a great opportunity to keep up-to-date on the latest industry trends. In 2022, visitors had access to over 50 hours of free CPD-accredited learning, courtesy of the four forums present on the show floor. This included talks from leading industry figures, including representatives from Siemens, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, Make UK, Rolls-Royce and Airbus.
“This year, we’ve made a big change to our floor plan by removing the different show zones that have been present in previous years,” explained Alison Willis, director of Easyfairs, the organiser of Advanced Engineering. “We felt like this was important since cross-industry working is one of the things that attendees value the most, so we want them to feel like they aren’t segregated to a particular area because of their industry sector.
“We’ve also made positive changes to help reduce the show’s environmental impact. We’ll be encouraging our exhibitors to reduce the amount of paper they bring to the show, by giving everyone access to our smart badge system where exhibitors can add brochures, data sheets and any other digital material that they would have previously had in print on their stands. We’ve also invested in our dedicated app so we can ensure attendees have all show information on their phone, without the need for a printed show guide,” continued Willis.
Advanced Engineering is supported by a range of industry partners, including Make UK, the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), Composites UK, UKRI, UK Space Agency, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, GAMBICA, and the Department for International Trade. Partnerships like this help the show stay on top of the latest issues arising in industry, passing knowledge on these topics onto its visitors.
Once again, the show will be co-located with Lab Innovations, giving visitors and exhibitors more opportunities for cross-industry collaboration. The Enabling Innovation Zone will also return, supporting smaller enterprises that want to accelerate and commercialise their innovation into the advanced manufacturing and technology sectors.
There is no place better to experience the innovation that the UK’s engineering and manufacturing industry has to offer. To book your stand, visit www.advancedengineeringuk.com and make an enquiry — but don’t hesitate as space is selling out fast.
