We’d like to welcome you to the second
MachineBuilding.Live, building on last year’s highly
successful inaugural event to bring you an even
bigger and more comprehensive overview of our
industry. 2024 will see some 150 exhibitors come
together to provide a unique forum where visitors
can discover and discuss the latest products,
processes and innovations to have emerged over
the last 12 months.
A key element of the event is the workshops
programme, which has this year been extended
to 10, providing a world-class programme that
addresses real-world engineering challenges
and explores today’s most pressing automation
concerns. Half of the workshops will be focused
exclusively on the subject of machinery safety,
with each hosted by a leading expert in machinery
safety. So, if you are a machine builder, systems
integrator or manufacturing professional keen to
automate, this will be an unequalled opportunity
to get right up to date with all the latest UK
Legislation, how to ensure compliance and what
forthcoming changes are likely to appear in the
future.
New at MachineBuilding.Live for 2024 is an Action
Arena. It features some of the latest developments
from leading suppliers and they are being
demonstrated by the experts behind them. Seeing
is believing when it comes to the speed, precision
and repeatability you will witness. Head for the
Compton Suite when you arrive to see some of the
most fascinating and potentially game-changing
innovations to have emerged onto the machine
building scene recently.
When we say “all the answers in one day”, we really
do mean that this is an event where you can get the
maximum return on your time investment. It’s going
to be a fantastic day again, and we very much look
forward to seeing you.
