Visitor registration is now open for Advanced Engineering, the UK’s annual gathering of engineering and manufacturing professionals.
Now in its 15th year and being hosted on October 30 and 31, 2024, Advanced Engineering UK is keeping the same format that reaped success from last year’s exhibition by keeping the cross-industry floor layout.
This year's show will also expand on the success of two forums introduced last year – the Main Stage and the Advanced Materials & Technologies (AMT) forum. The Main Stage will feature keynotes and key industry players, while the AMT forum will feature end user case studies across all sectors.
The expansions have been made to compliment the success of the show’s rebrand in 2023, presenting a fresh look for visitors. The event featured a new cross-industry floor layout, which was previously divided into zones, allowing a broader range of exhibitors from a variety of industries and included newly added sectors like marine, motorsport, construction, medical, rail and sport.
Over 8,800 visitors were also able to explore two events, including 400 exhibitors from Advanced Engineering and 202 from its co-located show, Lab Innovations, all with a single badge. Among the visitors were representatives from well-known companies like Airbus, Rolls-Royce, IBM, Boeing, McLaren, BAE Systems, Catapult HVM, the Department for International Trade and Jaguar Land Rover.
“The overwhelmingly positive feedback from 2023 confirmed that the changes made worked, with exhibitors and visitors having found the new approach created a more collaborative atmosphere for better interaction and networking,” explained Alison Willis, director at Easyfairs, the organiser of Advanced Engineering.
“This year, the forums will offer industry insights on the following topics; sustainability, innovation, government and policy, automation, AI and skills and levelling-up, all of which have been curated by our advisory board and industry partners. We're also planning to broaden our scope by providing high-quality content from an even greater variety of industries.”
“The fact that there's so many visitors that I would describe as high value engineering and manufacturing businesses in one place is quite unique in the trade show world in the UK, added Andrew Kinniburgh, director at Make UK Defence. “From a Make UK Defence perspective, it's really useful to have all of those companies in one place.”
