Austech 2015 – Registrations now open Registrations have now opened for those planning to attend Austech 2015, Australia’s premier advanced precision manufacturing and machine tool exhibition, in Melbourne this May. Austech will once again be a must-attend event for manufacturing professionals from around Australia in 2015. Austech will be held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26 to 29 May. As the show’s organiser, AMTIL is looking forward to welcoming the entire Austech community, comprised of more than 10,000 industrial decision-makers, to interact, see the latest technology, and find answers to their manufacturing problems and challenges. Reflecting the strong support from AMTIL members, early results on participating exhibitors is ahead of the Austech 2013 pace, with more than 75% of the overall floor space already booked. “With the recent move to a two-year cycle, early signs indicate that we can look forward to a robust event,” Austech Exhibition Manager Kim Warren said. “Austech is the place to be in May. About 87% of the attendees at Austech are in middle- or senior-management positions. This group is an important audience segment, not just because of its size but also because these professionals play a key role in shaping the future of Australian manufacturing.” In order to better serve this key group, AMTIL launched the Manufacturers Pavilion at its 2013 edition in Melbourne. The Pavilion will once again be an important part of the 2015 show, highlighting the capabilities of Australia’s precision engineering and advanced manufacturing industry and providing Australian component manufacturers, precision engineering firms, toolmakers, advanced manufacturers and general engineering companies the opportunity to exhibit their unique capabilities. AMTIL is currently organising a comprehensive four-day speaker program in the Manufacturers Pavilion, after its huge success in 2013.
Austech provides a forum for visitors not only to view the latest technology available today but also to talk about applications that help them provide value-added, innovative and high-tech solutions. The principal focuses at the fair are machine tools for metal cutting and forming, production systems, high-precision tools, CAD/CAM, and accessories. Austech 2015 will also be co-located with National Manufacturing Week (NMW), Safety First Expo and the Inside 3D Printing conference. Inside 3D Printing is the largest professional 3D printing and additive manufacturing event worldwide. Conference attendees will be able to explore the business applications of 3D printing through conference sessions led by industry experts, demonstrations of the latest 3D printers and services, and programming for designers, professionals, and makers. With all of these shows and events under one roof, this is an event not to be missed. More than 70 exhibitors have already registered for Austech and many of the key industry players and major machine tool companies are back at next year’s show, underlining the importance of Australia’s advanced manufacturing industry. “Be sure to put Austech on your calendar 26 to 29 May,” added Warren. “And join us in Melbourne where you will meet the people that are moving Australian manufacturing forward.
