SMART ACTUATION APPLICATIONS CONFERENCE

SPONSOR

THIS TWO DAY EVENT WILL FOCUS ON THE ENGINEERING ASPECTS OF PRODUCTS USING SMART AND ADVANCED ACTUATION.The Smart Actuation Applications conference will allow you to discover details of the applications and the challenges experienced in moving smart actuation technology forward to products.

This event will bring end-users and manufacturers together with the materials and system specialists responsible for the development and engineering production of advanced actuators and applications through to basic technology development.

Smart Actuation Applications will be followed by a set of peer reviewed papers that will be published in a special edition of one of the Institution’s journals.

SPONSORSHIP & EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITIESGET INVOLVEDAttending this event as either an exhibitor or sponsor will give you the opportunity to display your solutions, services and products to the right people at the right time.

This is an excellent way to enhance your company profile and communicate effectively to your target audience.

BENEFITS OF SPONSORING•Showcase new products•Raise awareness of your operation• Improve perception of your brand• Influence other organisations’ spending plans

For more information please call +44 (0)20 7973 1309 or email sponsorship@imeche.org

BENEFITS OF ATTENDANCE:

• Identify the applications of emerging smart actuation technologies

• Hear how new technology is developed from low TRL systems design and product prototyping through to high TRL demonstrator technology readiness

• Learn about the range of technologies from emerging, novel hydraulic and electrical systems through to SMA, piezo electric and MR fluids

• Contribute to debates around smart actuation technologies to enhance the UK capability to develop and exploit the potential

• Network with UK leading experts, suppliers and users of advanced and smart actuation systems
