When it comes to engineering tradeshows, Advanced Engineering UK can always be relied on to offer a little bit of a lot of different manufacturing-based technologies.

Previewed in this issue, Advanced Engineering 2022 is more than just the sum of its parts and arguably offers some of the best opportunities to discover more about someone - or something - you never knew existed.

From the very beginnings of 2009’s Aero Engineering Show, event organiser Easyfairs will once again use Advanced Engineering’s umbrella to showcase the innovations within its six co-locating engineering sectors spanning aerospace, composites, automotive engineering, performance metals, connected manufacturing and, new for this year, product testing and quality control.

A throng of exhibitors and visitors alike will descend upon this event. For stakeholders in our industry, the show’s Aerospace Engineering Zone will offer a wealth of R&D, design, test, inspection, production and assembly solutions, bringing together global OEMs and top tier manufacturers to see the latest innovations in the sector.

The Aero Engineering Zone will aim to give engineers the opportunity to work together with associations and international companies to improve processes, innovation and supply chain competitiveness. Within the busy Open Forums, speakers will cover topics, such as additive manufacturing applications, hybrid propulsion systems and Aerospace 4.0, among others.

The Aero Engineering Forum will host presentations on sustainability, supply chains, digitalisation and automation from easyJet, Rolls-Royce and Airbus. Sustainability and Net Zero are a large concern, so Advanced Engineering UK will welcome talks from the Aerospace Technology Institute, Nottingham University, ZeroAvia to address creating a greener industry.

Hopefully, Advanced Engineering 2022 will deliver fresh opportunities to exhibitors and visitors alike, so they can experience both new customers and new products – the kinds that they wouldn’t normally expect to see at these events.
