Advanced Engineering Show opens registration

Tickets are now available for Advanced Engineering, the UK’s largest annual gathering of engineering and manufacturing professionals.

Now in its thirteenth year, the show is expected to attract thousands of attendees from all engineering disciplines and markets to the NEC, Birmingham on November 2 and 3, 2022.

This year, Advanced Engineering UK introduces a new show zone dedicated to product testing and quality control. The new zone will span across Advanced Engineering and Lab Innovations, which will once again be co-located, giving visitors and exhibitors access to an even wider range of professionals, products and solutions. After a welcoming reception in 2021, the space and satellite zone will return, uniting the likes of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence and the Satellite Applications Catapult, who will showcase a range of satellites on their pavilion.

The show will bring together many different areas of engineering — aerospace, marine, automotive, defence, advanced metals, connected manufacturing and more. There will be four forums, which will each house two days of innovative and ground-breaking talks from industry experts. In 2021, this included representatives from the Aerospace Technology Institute, Rolls-Royce, Airbus, ADS, the UK Space Agency, Jaguar Land Rover, Composites UK, BAE Systems, Make UK and more.

This year’s speaker programme is already filling up and is set to trump that of its previous edition with a line up of industry experts confirmed to speak already. David Morgan, director of flight operations at EasyJet, will take to the stage on the aerospace forum to discuss how the company is developing new technologies to help decarbonise aviation.

There will also be other speakers at the event to highlight the vast range of specialities that Advanced Engineering offers, from Andrew Blows, Technical Specialist Strength and Durability CAE, Jaguar Land Rover, Alan Banks, Lightweighting Innovation Manager, Ford Motor Company and Craig Carr, Technology Director Integrated Composites Structures, GKN Aerospace.

Advanced Engineering welcomes back its valued sponsors once again, with Silverstone Technology, GRP Solutions, University of Strathclyde, HP, and PRF Composite Materials headlining the event this year. In the composites networking area, PRF will showcase a museum of ground-breaking composite products for attendees to see. Associate forum sponsors, Cristex Composite Materials, Aerospace Manufacturing and Ripley Solutions will support over 200 hours of CPD-accredited learning, which is free for all visitors and exhibitors.  

The Enabling Innovation zone will return once again, giving the UK’s most innovative start-ups the chance to present their business to a panel of industry leading figures. Attendees will have access to representatives from some of the world’s top automotive and aerospace original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), courtesy of the show’s co-located Meet the Buyer events.

“Advanced Engineering’s supporters are one of the main reasons that we’re able to have such a huge impact on the UK’s engineering and manufacturing sectors,” commented Alison Willis, director at Easyfairs, the organiser of Advanced Engineering. “Some of the world’s key industry associations, such as ADS Group, SMMT, Composites UK, Make UK, UKRI, UK Space Agency, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, GAMBICA, and ALFED among others, have chosen to support Advanced Engineering for years and, because of this, we can ensure that the show addresses the issues that our industry is facing.”

Pre-show tickets are available from the Advanced Engineering website.
