THE ENGINEERING DESIGN SHOW

Since its launch in 2012, the Engineering Design Show has tripled in size and continued to exceed expectations; not only in terms of visitor numbers, but also in the quality of the conference and workshop sessions. The Show has now firmly established itself as the only event that provides design engineers with everything they need under one roof. It offers visitors the chance to speak to the industry’s leading suppliers and exhibitors the opportunity to have meaningful conversations with engineers from a wide range of manufacturing sectors. It is the major meeting place for anyone who’s anyone in engineering design and continues to lead the way in terms of content quality and delivery.

Three co-located shows under one roof!

Register for one show and get to visit three all in the same location. With areas aimed squarely at the needs of electronic design engineers, and those interested or actively involved in embedded design combined within the Engineering Design Show.

Workshop: Wednesday 19th October

Speaker: RS presents Nick O'Leary from IBM
