Bridging the gap between sectors for the entire engineering and manufacturing supply chain
Advanced Engineering is hotly tipped to be the engineering event of the year, with all the latest groundbreaking innovations across the engineering and manufacturing supply chain. This year’s event will take place at the NEC, Birmingham from 30-31 October 2024. It is the quintessential, leading expo for over 400 exhibitors across automotive, aerospace, rail, energy, space and satellite, civil engineering and many more industries, with over 9,000 visitors expected, including engineers, buyers and key decision-makers.
Last year’s expo was a roaring success: the statistics speak for themselves, with 96% of exhibitors recommending the event and 81% planning to return this year. Advance Engineering is a surefire way of showcasing new products, meeting buyers and networking with engineering and manufacturing peers, all under one roof over two fabulous days.
With big names in attendance this year, including Rolls Royce, BMW, 3M, Siemens, and the Ministry of Defence, the event is guaranteed to pull in quality footfall. New this year is The Electric Revolution Skills Hub, where visitors can gain access to a wealth of specialist sector knowledge, network with key industry players, and engage in community-building activities designed to support and grow the UK’s electrification workforce.
Heavyweight keynote speakers such as Brian Holliday, Managing Director, Siemens Digital Industries, Leonie Moffat, Laser Radar Sales Accountant, Nikon, and Matthew Atkinson, Lead Research Engineer, JLR, are expected to bring expert insights over the two days, adding to the buzz of excitement.
Advanced Engineering has an email database of over 70,000 and a website reach of over 400,000 annual views, which will surely guarantee the event is trending in the weeks running up to and during the event. With such large social media presence, new and world-renowned companies alike can expect the added bonus of digital promotions across multiple platforms.
Some of the trending innovations expected at this year’s event include: lightweighting: the latest concept buzzing across the automotive/aero industry, utilising lightweight vehicle building for the dual purpose of fuel efficiency and better handling. Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) is gaining traction in the aerospace industry: electric vehicles function like a drone and omnidirectional fans can even support aircraft to take-off vertically. For those involved with 5 Axis CNC Solutions, this is the place to be to demonstrate aluminium/ composite mould machinery.
