As we enter a new era of technology, seminars at the Made in the Midlands Exhibition aim to provide key information for exhibitors and visitors to take back to their businesses.
Seminars at the Made in the Midlands Exhibition cover hot topics in the industry right now, such as bridging the skills gap, the impact Industry 4 is having on the manufacturing sector, international trade and inclusivity in manufacturing.
In previous years, seminars have been presented by industry leaders in OEM automotive and aerospace firms, senior public sector buyers, global technology companies and leading politicians looking to share best practice on the future of manufacturing in the region.
Seminar rooms sit on the same floor plate as the stands, so a speaker changeover is also a mini hall reset: chairs squared, cable covers down, and the threshold wiped so visitors do not track swarf from a neighbouring bay. We keep that briefing on the programme even when the speaker list is still being confirmed.
Topics still in the hopper include the skills gap, Industry 4.0 on Midlands lines, and how a buyer walks from a seminar seat back onto visitor-ready floors without losing the thread of the conversation.
