We are incredibly excited to announce that Rolls Royce CTO, Paul Stein will present the keynote at Subcon! His presentation will be just one of the highlights of this year’s programme. Elsewhere, sessions on
digitalisation, robotics, prosthetics, motorsport, Blockchain, smart materials
and technology transfer will be delivered by some of the UK’s leading engineers and its
most innovative disruptors.
This year’s conference is a three-day, two-theatre,
six-stream, 36-session programme showcasing cutting edge innovation and best
practice from the worlds of engineering, manufacturing and supply chain
management. The programme is free to attend for all Subcon visitors and can be viewed
online at http://www.subconshow.co.uk/conference/2018-programme.
Cross sector collaboration
A key theme of this year’s conference is cross-sector
collaboration and technology transfer with Dr Caroline Hargrove, CTO of McLaren
Applied Technologies, talking about how technological expertise in motorsport
can be spun out into other sectors and BAE Systems’ Dr Henry White showing delegates how technology from the defence sector can be applied to the world of elite sport.
Other programme highlights include cybernetics specialist
Nadine Stech, who helped to design Linx, the world’s most intelligent prosthetic
limb, and the CTO of Fujitsu UK who will treat visitors to an explanation of
Blockchain and how it can be applied to the engineering supply chain. Visitors
will also be able to hear about the latest developments in driverless cars from
Jaguar Land Rover’s head of autonomous projects Mark Cund.

Digital manufacturing excellence
On the manufacturing side, the conference programme will
cover everything from the practicalities of implementing Industry 4.0
technology to the latest developments in 3D printing, composite materials, and
advanced metrology technologies. Highlights here include Xaar’s Professor Neil
Hopkinson one of the pioneers of 3D
printing in the UK.
“Delegates at my session will
learn to appreciate the immediacy of the opportunity of 3D printing for part
production - it’s a field that is moving quickly – and understand where the
technology does and does not make sense,” he explained. “They should also draw
inspiration on where and how they can best add value to their organisations
through 3D printing.”
Other key speakers include The AMRC’s head of digital Professor Rab Scott and Professor Dame Jane
Jiang – who heads up the EPSRC’s Future Metrology hub at the University of
Huddersfield.
In the words of conference director Jon Excell; “We’re really excited
about the programme for this year’s conference - we’ve got a great mix of
engineering leaders at the forefront of technological change and top academics
who are plugging their research into real world, mainstream applications. Over
the three days visitors will be able to gain expert insight into some of the
big trends that are shaping engineering and manufacturing as well as being able
to marvel at some of the UK’s most inspiring and innovative engineering
projects.”
