EvEnts I Aeroengineering 09 review
Off to a flying start!
AeroEngineering’s debut success sees the event become an annual fixture
on the aerospace calendar.
A
eroEngineering’s organiser,
Leading Edge Events & Media
has decided that due to the
tremendous response received for its
inaugural AeroEngineering Exhibition &
Congress in Manchester last November,
it will be holding another event in
2010, but on a much expanded and
comprehensive scale and co-located
with the launch of the new Composites
Engineering Show.
The 2010 AeroEngineering Expo &
Conference and the 2010 Composites
Engineering Show will now be held
concurrently at the Birmingham NEC on
September 29-30.
