During two days, there will be over 50 seminars across 4 topical theatres open for you to drop in at your convenience on either or both days of the event.
Synopsis will be confirmed soon.
This presentation highlights the importance of innovation and technology in manufacturing bespoke, high-integrity, critical components such as large forgings and castings. In order to fabricate such products more quickly and cheaply, several vital ingredients need to be brought together; these include investment in equipment and people, increased adoption of advanced technologies and any relevant elements of “Industry 4.0”. In addition, […]

Metals and alloys are the backbone of manufacturing industry, underpinning many key sectors such as aerospace, automotive, construction, packaging, electronics, defence and general engineering. In the UK, metals and the products that are manufactured from them support about 250,000 jobs and contribute about £200b to national GDP (about 10%). On the downside, however, they contribute worldwide and in the UK […]
Steel is the backbone of modern economies and underpins many industrial sectors, including construction which accounts for more than half of all steel use globally. Steel also has a vital role to play to facilitate the transition to a zero-carbon economy and the industrial and infrastructure revolution that is required to decarbonise the UK by 2050. Decarbonising structural steelwork requires […]

The panel surrounding Lord Redesdale is composed of at least one member of the three major parties (Labour, Conservatives, and Liberal Democrats). Topic and panellists to be confirmed close to the event
If the right material should be in the right place, then the right manufacturing technology should be used to achieve target shape. Therefore Resource efficient manufacturing is based on three fundamental pillars: selection of the appropriate material, understanding of the part design features, development/assessment of the suitable manufacturing technology, which need to be supported by the risk and cost assessment. […]
The Forge is the UK’s first net-zero commercial development by Landsec and the world’s first large-scale office scheme to be built using a standardised “kit of parts”. Steelwork played a significant role where an innovative method is being used that could transform the construction industry into a leaner and greener sector. The session will provide the audience with : an […]

The demand for quality metal and metal alloy powders from additive manufacturing, aerospace, defence, electronics, clean energy firms and many more industries that are central to our progress is set to grow massively. The key to cost-effective, fit-for-purpose powders lies in the technology used to create them. The Metalysis FFC process was developed at Cambridge University, UK, in 1997 and […]

The path to Net Zero is an achievable but narrow one. Electrification plays a pivotal role. Raw material supply challenges and supply chain disruptions have caused serious concerns over the past few years in the e-mobility space. During this talk, we will explore Glencore’s approach towards addressing these concerns.
Synopsis and panellists will be confirmed soon.

Compact nuclear power stations can help us decarbonise our energy production. We are leading a consortium developing power plants that generate electricity using a small modular reactor (SMR). Fleets of SMRs have the potential to provide increased stability and security of supply to electricity grids alongside other sources including renewables. The technology also opens nuclear power up to new opportunities […]
