About the session

The IET joined manufacturers, engineers and industry leaders for a series of events held at Liverpool Exhibition Centre from 13 - 16 November 2018 to mark Digital Manufacturing Week, including a Smart Factory Expo exhibition.

Billed as ‘a national festival of advanced manufacturing’, the week-long event organised by The Manufacturer brought together around 6,000 proprietors, practitioners and industry players from across the country.

For the Manufacturers' Leaders Summit, there were plenary sessions on a range of far-reaching topics from the planned Government-backed North West pilot for the Made Smarter review and getting real ROI from a digital factory to the art of the possible when digitising an operation.

This year's Smart Factory Expo featured six distinct Visitor Zones that enabled visitors to engage with world-class exhibitors and innovative start-ups while also taking part in experience-sharing sessions with some of the most exciting names in UK manufacturing.
