Aero Engineering 2010 taps into supply chain intelligence

Event director Ian Stone says: "For both delegates to the Business Briefing sessions and visitors to the show floor exhibits and programmes, Aero Engineering 2010 will concentrate on the critical information needs of engineering and business teams up and down the UK aerospace supply chain." The 2010 Aero Engineering event features: • Some 150 exhibitors on the show floor. Key areas include design and development engineering technologies to advanced machining, tooling, production, quality and subcontract engineering services. • A two-day Open Forum of free-to-attend technology presentations, with specialist sessions planned for the areas of quality management, titanium machining, composites machining, entry-level NADCAP, NDT, near net shape manufacturing, modelling and simulation and composite materials. • A strategic delegate Business Briefing programme covering upstream programme opportunities, technology and skills requirements (scheduled speakers include: BAE Systems, Airbus CIMPA, BIS, UKTI, Midlands Aerospace Alliance, North West Aerospace Alliance, Rolls-Royce, Marshall Aerospace, PRI, National Composites Centre, Thyssen Krupp and GKN). • An integrated B2B meetings portal facilitating hundreds of pre-planned onsite meetings between attendee groups. • Co-location with the new Composites Engineering Show bringing together the UK composites design and manufacturing value chain. Entry to the show floor exhibits and open technology programmes carries no cost, however the organisers recommend attendees pre-register online at www.aeroconf.com to receive advanced badges for fast track entry and have the opportunity to make up to ten individual advanced meeting requests through the B2B meetings portal.
