Five great reasons to attend The Engineer’s 2019 conference
The speaker programme for The Engineer’s annual conference – which runs from 4 – 6th June at the NEC, Birmingham - is now almost complete, and as in previous years the event looks set to provide delegates with an unrivalled opportunity to tap into industry-leading insights on the trends, technologies and opportunities that will impact UK engineering and manufacturing in the months and years ahead.
The full programme can be viewed here. But to give you a taster of what’s in store, here are five key reasons for joining us in Birmingham this June.
When it comes to manufacturing technology we are in the midst of a period profound change and the conference’s Advanced Manufacturing stream will examine the implications, challenges, benefits and practicalities of so-called industry 4.0 technologies.
This year’s content is particularly focussed on what this change means for the smaller firms at the heart of the UK’s manufacturing economy. Key presentations here include insights from MTC Chief Technologist Dr Lina Huertas on the current state of digitalisation in the UK, and - courtesy of her MTC colleague Hannah Edmonds - an in-depth look the “Factory In a Box”, a fascinating newly-launched initiative aimed at bringing Industry 4.0 technologies to the masses.
