Engineering Design Show: What's in it for me?

As the briefest glance at this month's <i>Eureka</i> will probably already have told you, this is the magazine's <a href="http://www.engineeringdesignshow.co.uk">Engineering Design Show</a> Preview issue.

Of course, there may be some of you who may currently have no plans to visit. That, of course, is your prerogative. We understand how precious your time is and know only too well how hard it can be to find time away from your office for events like this. However, you may want to consider a couple of things that may go some way towards changing your mind. The first – and probably most important – thing to remember, is that your rivals are likely to be there. They will therefore get the benefit of seeing the people, products and services on who are – for these two days only – all under one roof. Still not convinced? OK, well how about this? There is no other exhibition in the UK designed specifically for design engineers. The Engineering Design Show is unique in that regard and if you think it may not be of interest, all I can tell you is that if you receive and read Eureka, the show is directly relevant to you. The other thing, of course, is that this is not just a show about selling products. Far from it, in fact.This is a show intended to inspire its visitors, which is why it includes a high-level Conference featuring speakers from some of the biggest names in UK engineering design. These speakers – who hail from companies as diverse as Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover and Surrey Satellite Systems, will offer insights on design from their sectors of industry that we hope will inspire and encourage visitors to apply new thinking and approaches in their daily work. In addition, the show will feature highly practical, detailed workshops hosted by experts in technologies with which Eureka's readers deal every day. As I say, Eureka's readers are very busy people, but if there is ever a good reason to take a day away from your desk, the Engineering Design Show is it. I very much hope to see you there.
