Manufacturing & Engineering North East exhibition and conference is back this summer and offers a slice of best practice heaven for local manufacturers and engineers

The award-winning Manufacturing & Engineering North East show is returning to Newcastle again in 2016 to support the industrial innovation of the region. This vibrant exhibition, workshops and conference will open its doors for two days on 6-7 July at the Radio Metro Arena, Newcastle.

Manufacturing & Engineering North East will showcase the region’s strengths and provide a platform for local and national manufactuers, engineers and their suppliers to meet, learn solve problems and do business.

All operators have the same pressures- too much to do in too little time. There is always the reality of having to keep ahead of the game as well as keeping abreast of technology, business practices, new opportunities- all of this takes time.

Manufacturing & Engineering North East will help with these challenges in four key way:

  • Keynote conference sessions from market leading engineering and manufacturing businesses showing how best-practice has been delivered at the coalface
  • Practical hands on workshop sessions
  • An exhibition providing access to market leading equipment and service suppliers

The inaugural Manufacturing & Engineering North East in 2015 attracted more than 1,300 design engineering and manufacturing professionals to the region. The event scooped three national awards from teh Professional Publishers Association for excellence.

The judges commented: “This was a shining example of how to launch a successful regional event: very well thought-through, with great planning and execution, all backed by strong market research.The team behind Manufacturing & Engineering North East really knew their intended targets and worked hard to get absolutely everyone in the market involved.

Visitors to the inaugural event were equally enthusiastic, with a production engineer from Progress Rail Services UK saying, “Local event but world renowned named suppliers, the latest technology on display for manufacturers and very informative.”

The 2016 event will be bigger and better. Manufacturing & Engineering North East 2016 brings together first class speakers and innovative engineering and manufacturing companies from across the UK in one location. More than 80% of the exhibition space has already been filled, the practical workshops are booking fast and the exciting speaker line-up will be unveiled shortly. The show gives visitors and exhibitors a great opportunity to source new suppliers, test equipment, acquire expert knowledge and forge new supply chain relationships.
