In partnership with Mustard Presentations, the MTC has embarked on a major revamp of its conference theatre in the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre on Ansty Park, Coventry. The works include a large-format projection screen with side repeater screens using ultra-high definition technologies, with twin laser projectors. Also now featured is a high-tech lighting system and a state-of-the-art cinematic sound system with digital mixing.
The conference theatre at the AMTC can seat 250 people, but remote connectivity systems mean that audiences outside of the theatre can interact with presentations, discussions and demonstrations, further increasing capacity.
The facility is run by the MTC's freestanding events division - MTC Events - which turns over £1.6 million a year, returning all profits to the manufacturing apprenticeship programmes at the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre. MTC Events has seen significant growth over the past 12 months, and has hosted events for major manufacturers and business organisations covering the manufacturing, aerospace and construction sectors.
