As the UK strives to maintains its status as a global leader in aerospace, particularly in wings and rotorcraft, the South West remains a pivotal hub which houses the country’s largest aerospace cluster and the second largest in Europe.
Therefore, the WEAF Annual Conference and Expo is poised to gather industry leaders, innovators, and professionals at the forefront of the aerospace and advanced manufacturing sectors in the South West of England.
Taking place on Wednesday 30th April in Weston-Super-Mare, this year’s conference and expo centres around the continued theme “Doing More With Less”, which aims to equip attendees with actionable strategies, expert-led workshops, and provide insights for industry to navigate current challenges and seize future opportunities.
The conference and expo will kick-off with an introduction from WEAF CEO Colin Turner, who will set the scene for a day filled with collaboration and learning. An industry leader will then present on the importance of the UK’s supply chain and the South West’s contribution to the national industrial landscape.
There will also be an opportunity to delve into UK Government initiatives and dedicated panels -comprising primes and Tier-1 companies, thought leaders, and industry experts – will cover the supply chain landscape over the next five years, crucial topics like future technologies, and how to ensure effective business operations.
Throughout the day there will be the chance to ask the experts, network, and see the latest technological developments on display.
As WEAF prepares for this significant event, the emphasis remains on fostering partnerships between SMEs, OEMs, and wider industry to secure the skills and economic growth necessary for the sectors’ future. The conference promises to be an invaluable experience for all participants, driving collaboration within the industry.
