Advanced Engineering 2018, one of the UK’s largest exhibition for advanced engineering professionals, is celebrating its 10th birthday by creating a bigger show, according to show organisers Easyfairs. New for this year is the Nuclear Engineering zone.

This builds on the success of the 2017 exhibition, where attendance increased by 15% on the previous year. Visitors stayed on average just under three hours at the show, many looking for new products and services.

The other show zones are: Aerospace Engineering, Composites Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Performance Metals and, building on its successful 2017 launch, Connected Manufacturing. In addition, the Enabling Innovation showcase is being repeated this year. It provides an opportunity for 50 start-ups and researchers to showcase the next generation of exciting new technologies.

As last year, the exhibition will be held in halls 2, 3 and 3A of the NEC, Birmingham, though now there are two entrances to the show, making navigation of the exhibition space easier. Last year the show attracted some of the industry’s biggest names including Airbus, Boeing, Jaguar Land Rover, Hexcel, and Dassault Systèmes.

The two-day open conference will have a raft of high profile speakers and topics. Visitors will see variety of cutting edge technology and materials from exhibitors as well as show floor features.

Alison Willis, industrial divisional director at Easyfairs, enthused: “Happy 10th birthday to the Advanced Engineering Show. We have hit double figures and are expecting a record response from visitors and exhibitors this year.

“The new Nuclear Engineering zone will tap into the technical excellence of this high growth sector, addressing nuclear energy new-build, operation and supply chain. This has huge importance for the country’s energy security and provides a great opportunity for companies to join a new and dynamic supply chain.”

The show takes place on the 31st October and 1st November at the NEC, Birmingham, UK.
