Visitor numbers soar by 16% for Subcon 2019 S
ubcon 2019, the UK’s premier subcontract manufacturing supply chain show, which took
place at the NEC last week, has achieved a significant uplift in visitor numbers. Over 4,100 manufacturing and engineering professionals attended this year’s
event, marking a 16 per cent increase year on year and is on par with the show’s record attendance achieved in 2017. During this 43rd edition of
the Show, visitors had a chance to meet, speak with and gain invaluable insight from more than 250 exhibitors and over 100
companies have already rebooked their stands for 2020. A spokesperson from exhibitor
Washington Metal Works said: “This was our first time at Subcon and only the second time we’ve ever
exhibited, and it’s been really good. It’s really important for us to be able to speak to a lot of different industry sectors because of how diverse our customers are, and we’ve made some great connections that could translate into potential clients. We’ll definitely be back next year.” Fellow exhibitor Bowman added:
“Subcon was very good this year; the people who came to see us were very focused and of a high quality, so it’s been a successful show for us and we’ve already signed for next year, when we’ll have even more new things to show visitors.” The Engineer Conference
provided over 30 high-powered free educational sessions, covering a wide range of topics including AI, robotics, nuclear fusion, hybrid aircraft and digitalisation, and with speakers including Ian Warhurst, the Bloodhound Landspeed Record Project CEO, Siemens Digital Industries, Make UK and MTC.
