EXHIBITION SEMINAR BROCHURE 25-27 JANUARY 2021

HALLS 9 & 10 NEC BIRMINGHAM

co-located with

The UK’s

LARGEST

manufacturing

event to date!

AND

The biennial co-located events; Drives & Controls, Smart Industry Expo, Fluid Power & Systems, Plant & Asset Management, and Air-Tech Exhibitions showcase the best of British manufacturing and engineering excellence with regular visitor attendance in excess of 13,500 At a time when engineers are under increasing pressure, and time out of the office for attending exhibitions needs to be balanced against heavy workloads, the unique opportunity to visit five industry leading shows in one as well as free conference quality seminars and panel discussions, is an opportunity many feel able to justify attending, which is reflected in our visitor attendance figures increasing for each show year. Although each exhibition is a standalone event in its own respective engineering field, collectively the events take on a whole new opportunity to source latest technologies, learn and find solutions for a whole range of engineering needs - all under one roof. In addition with the growing push for manufacturers to aspire to an industry 4.0 vision, the co-location of events can also help visitors take advantage of this technological leap forward, with many exhibitors offering technology and services able to help those implementing an Industry 4.0 strategy. The smart era will impact profoundly on manufacturing supply chain management and customer relationships, bringing greater collaboration and more integrated systems. The unique opportunity of Drives & Controls, Smart Industry Expo, Fluid Power & Systems, Plant & Asset Management, and Air-Tech Exhibitions, is that they can all contribute to visitors’ overall understanding of digitisation by helping to bring together the range of technologies, solutions and strategies on offer into a seamless cohesive strategy. Drives & Controls, Smart Industry Expo, Fluid Power & Systems, Plant & Asset Management, and Air-Tech Exhibitions can help ensure visitors seize the opportunities that exist in today’s rapidly changing business environment and promote the benefits of adopting emerging technologies. Make sure you are a part of it.

Plant & Asset Management Areas of Interest 2018 Show

It’s been a great show for us, had some great leads off the back of it, it’s been a great event all round. We’ve had lots of footfall onto Titan II, our innovation vehicle. James Howarth, RS Components“

Air-Tech 2018 generated a range of high-quality leads for Gardner Denver and provided a fantastic platform for the company to officially launch its OneAir offering. We had a brilliant response to its launch at Air-Tech 2018 and we would have chosen no other UK show to unveil this new initiative. Colin Mander, Gardner Denver

The Engineering and Digitalisation Forums at the 2021 co-located events; Drives & Controls, Smart Industry Expo, Fluid Power & Systems, Plant & Asset Management, and Air-Tech, will feature a free comprehensive programme of presentations and panel discussions strategically located in two theatres at the heart of the 2021 co-location. The uptake of smart technologies in the industrial sector will be central to our future, by improving our national productivity, creating higher value jobs, and arming our workforce with the digital skills required in the decades ahead. Global initiatives and the technological paradigm shift associated with the Industrial Internet of Things, shows that there is a growing opportunity for industry to take advantage of the creativity and entrepreneurial nature of UK companies. The programme will fully reflect the ongoing global transformation to the smart manufacturing era and provide a fascinating insight into the potential plants of the future, with high profile panel discussions and seminars from leading expert figures in the industry. Over the course of the three-day seminar programme, visitors will have the opportunity to learn how they can seize the opportunities that exist and promote the benefits of adopting emerging digital technologies. The variety and scope of the seminar programme for 2021 is extremely exciting, adding real value. The combination of leading manufacturing events, with a highly focused seminar programme, will give visitors a genuine opportunity to keep abreast of the latest industry developments.

Exhibiting is always a lottery but after a satisfactory show in 2016 we decided to attend Drives & Controls again. We were not disappointed. We increased the amount of visitors to our stand by 50% over 2016, and the quality was also higher. We have seen business placed with us as a direct result of discussions with new customers at and after the show. Steve Gallon, Fibox

“

The Smart Industry Expo gave us the perfect platform to demonstrate a fully connected factory solution over the typical product displays of Drives and Controls. The feedback we received was outstanding. Connie Taylor, Schneider Electric “

PROGRAMME

Exhibitions are among the most cost-effective forms of marketing you can employ. However, once you have made the initial investment in your stand, large or small, it is worth considering ways to maximise that investment.

This will draw visitors to your stand and improve their perception of your market position and strength.

The Shell Scheme Package is available to exhibitors booking stands of 9 square metres or over. Please note the minimum size stand for space only is 15 square metres. An exhibitor with less than 15 square metres may elect to have space only, but they will be charged the standard shell scheme rate of £342/m².

We had a great experience at Air-Tech 2018. The contacts gained at the show were exactly the type we wanted. There was a mixture of servicing companies, end users and trading companies, which was perfect for us. We gained around 10 to 15 invaluable contacts. Zan Pischulonok, director, Supervane
