Northern Ireland Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition

Sustainable manufacturing is about maximising the design of the products we use every day and minimising the impacts on the environment of the manufacturing resources required to make them. Manufacturing has a big part to play in achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Attend this event to understand how action on digitalisation and sustainability are of equal importance and need to be embraced and delivered. Non-labour resource costs required within manufacturing operations invariably exceed those of labour employed. The case for reducing the amount of energy, raw materials and other resources expended, makes financial as well as environmental sense. This event will provide engineers with information on how to embrace resource productivity by embedding current good practice, promote peer-to-peer collaboration at scale and highlight the potent combination of digital and sustainable approaches to deliver success.

Join us and global executives as we return for our 8th Annual Smart Manufacturing Summit in Prague, Czech Republic on April 27th – 28th. This edition will focus on taking smart factories to the next level through automation, 3D printing, autonomous robots and other innovations to reduce costs and downtime while increasing efficiency, boosting sustainability efforts, reducing waste and improving operational excellence. This hybrid 2-track event (Robotics & Automation and Manufacturing Excellence) will bring together manufacturing and robotic experts from various industries to discuss the value of Industry 4.0, the benefits of adopting modern technology and new business strategies. Leading professionals from global brands will be in attendance to share real world experiences and discuss the challenges and opportunities of digitalization that are transforming the industry.

The American Supply Chain Summit is a leadership focused meeting designed around improving supply chain and procurement strategy across the globe. The Supply Chain Summit serves as an annual platform to exchange ideas and collaborate on the impact of market dynamics and new technologies for current and future supply chain and operations leaders. This year's event creates an opportunity to examine key case studies on how to navigate supply chain disruptions as well as how workforce management, advanced analytics, process improvement and automation are being rolled out in the world's best facilities. Join the in-depth discussions on achieving innovation, maximizing supply chain profitability and increasing visibility and flexibility to mitigate risk.

The Manufacturing & Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition and Co-Located Events will take place again on the 20th of April 2023. This event will serve as a national forum for manufacturers and operators involved throughout the associated supply chains from across the UK to gather to discuss pressing issues facing the industry. It is now firmly established as a ‘must-attend’ annual event, which successfully connects key stakeholders across the full spectrum of British manufacturing, including aerospace, automotive, chemical & pharmaceutical, construction, defence, electronics, energy, food & drink, nuclear, plastics, security, steel, space and textiles.
