The full conference programme for the inaugural Manufacturing & Engineering North East event has been confirmed and is now available for online booking at www.menortheast.co.uk.
The conference, workshops and exhibition, which open for two days on July 8th-9th at the Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, focuses on UK innovation and inspiring the next generation of manufacturers and engineers.
The conference sessions, led by senior manufacturing and engineering professionals, look to address the skills gap in this sector. AMF explores how companies can ensure longevity in a quality work force by taking on apprentices and engineering the next generation. With the new government announcing 3 million more apprenticeships, EEF looks into the detail of the strategy for UK engineering and manufacturing. Visitors can find out how 90 North East primary schools are embracing engineering by teaching the subject to their students, and why the region is fast growing a reputation as an industrial powerhouse; the North East Auto Alliance looks at the achievements of the UK’s largest car plant in Sunderland, and MSD explains how Northumberland’s pharmaceutical production is beating global rivals.
In addition, the full workshop programme includes inspiring case studies alongside an exhibition of more than 90 exhibitors from regional and national companies.
