Aimed at manufacturing and engineering professionals in the North East, it is being presented as a completely new type of event, with support from the Manufacturing Advisory Service (MAS), North East LEP, Gateshead & Newcastle Inward Investment and the Institution of Engineering Designers.
Taking place at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on 8—9 July 2015, Manufacturing & Engineering North East will showcase the region's strengths and provide a platform for the local and national manufacturers, engineers and suppliers to meet, learn, solve problems and develop partnerships.
Organiser Findlay Media says the event will comprise three key elements covering the full range of design, production and manufacturing:
Keynote conference sessions from leading engineering and manufacturing businesses
Focused technical workshop sessions
An exhibition with access to leading suppliers
The specialist publisher also says delegates can expect keynotes and practical workshops from senior manufacturing and engineering professionals representing the giants of aerospace, automotive, motorsport and electronics engineering – and covering everything from production, design and manufacturing management, to metrology, rapid prototyping, automation, and test and measurement.
"Ultimately, the event's most fundamental aim is to champion the manufacturing industry in the region and offer professionals in the sector a comprehensive event focusing on their needs and their needs alone," comments Findlay Media executive director Ed Tranter
"I'm very pleased to report that the response has been phenomenal, with the exhibition space now completely sold out, over five months before the event takes place," he adds.
Registration for the event is free for all qualifying professionals and opens on 9 February.
