The first raft of speakers has been confirmed for The Engineer Conference, the high-end, free educational programme that runs during Subcon, the Advanced Manufacturing Show and The Engineer Design & Innovation Show from 6-8 June at the NEC, Birmingham.

BAE Systems’ director of strategic technology Andy Wright and Prof Sam Turner, the newly appointed CTO at the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, will present two of the conference’s keynote addresses.

“The Engineer Conference is the ultimate opportunity for visitors to Subcon in June to gain critical insight into the newest industry trends, to keep up to date and hear the latest thinking from leading minds at the forefront of advanced manufacturing,” said event director Gordon Kirk.

“We’re really excited about this summer’s conference: we will deliver a programme showcasing inspiring projects and the latest thinking from engineering design, manufacturing and supply chain development, giving the audience key recommendations and practical advice that can be applied directly to business strategy.”
