The Engineering Design Show - a new event in October 2012

Scheduled to run throughout the two days, the conference will cover a broad range of themes and topics targeting the requirements and realities of design engineering within the UK. Subjects will range from materials development through to Regulations, with high-profile speakers invited from across industry, government and academia.

Both of the two workshop theatres will offer visitors practical and hands-on sessions in the form of case study presentations by leading technology experts. This area will be free for visitors to attend and each workshop session will be promoted individually, with a full synopsis published in advance so that visitors can see what they will learn.

Serving the needs of design engineers

Findlay Media's executive director, Ed Tranter, comments: "The research undertaken by New Electronics and Eureka magazines in July 2011 confirmed for us that The Engineering Design Show will offer something unique and valued in the market: an exhibition catering specifically for design engineers, regardless of the industry in which they work.

"With a high-level conference, free practical workshops, and an exhibition demonstrating and promoting cutting-edge technology and innovation from market-leading suppliers, The Engineering Design Show is the only event providing for the needs of the UK's design engineers."

The show is already 65 per cent booked and has been well received by leading companies and industry bodies. Schaeffler and Heidenhain are Headline Sponsors, the UK's Profibus Group is a supporter, and exhibitors include igus, Henkel, TDK-Lambda, Lee Spring, MiniTec, EMS (Electro Mechanical Systems), Brownell, National Instruments, Springmasters and TFC.

Steven Tetlow, president and chief executive of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, which is an Industry Partner for the event, states: "Good design goes hand-in-hand with good engineering - one cannot exist without the other. The Engineering Design Show is to be applauded for offering our world-class design engineers the chance to enhance their knowledge and expertise.

"This conference will give design engineers a unique opportunity to meet, get hands-on training in the latest techniques, and share ideas, which can only be a good thing for the industry as a whole."

More details of the conference and workshop sessions will be revealed over the coming months.
