SUMMARY:EMN EVENT: EMCON Show September 9th 2021
DESCRIPTION:For 12 years EMCON (formerly Durham Oktoberfest) has brought together thousands of visitors and exhibitors to share with the best of the region’s engineering and manufacturing community. We have heard from some of the region’s biggest industrial names and influencers whilst debating a wide range of topics that concern the sector. \nLongevity of that kind is never taken for granted and every year the team look for ways of improving the quality of the show whilst maintaining its core values. This year however is unprecedented\, with a situation that no one could have predicted affecting our global business community and individuals of all ages. \nEngineering Manufacturing Network who ‘own’ EMCON have deliberated for a number of weeks as to the best approach to progress the show for 2020. This has included conversations with the exhibitors and sponsors who had already booked for this year as to how best to progress with our plans. We recognise that even if things are back to ‘some kind of normal’ by October there will most likely still be concerns over large gatherings alongside our need to have sufficient time to deliver the quality of show you are used to. \nConsidering all of this we have made the decision to move the show into 2021 and are very pleased to announce a new date of 9th September 2021 \nWe know that you will look forward to joining us for what will be our 13th show as either an exhibitor or visitor\, sharing the capabilities of our incredible region and supporting the continued growth and of course recovery of our sector.

SUMMARY:AFFILIATE EVENT: Achieving Net Zero In Manufacturing. Practical Advice for SME's
DESCRIPTION:As the dust settles on a year that re-shaped our lives\, climate change has taken centre stage globally. Greater awareness and emphasis from government\, industry and prominent public figures has also been driven by added pressure from the general public to act. \nSustainability has moved sharply into a business-critical initiative and the green economy is expected to grow 4x faster than the UK economy as a whole\, while the investment into the green economy is growing >30% a year (Lloyds Bank Digital Index). The journey to net zero manufacturing must begin now. \nAccording to research from Lloyds Bank\, almost one third of SME manufacturers are aware of net zero and are taking action to achieve it\, while two-thirds either are unsure how to achieve it or don’t know how to influence a change in their business to do so (Lloyds Bank Digital Index). \nSo\, how can you capitalise on this opportunity? \nLloyds Bank and Autodesk have partnered to host an event to help SMEs in the UK focus their efforts. \nBy attending one of these events\, you can accelerate your journey towards net zero\, decode the climate-change-related jargon and take some few practical ideas away for your business. \nThese events are aimed at leadership teams within SME manufacturers in the UK. We have organised region-specific events for your convenience\, so please select the most appropriate event for you from the options in the registration page. \n  \nSouth West | Wednesday June 9 | 10:00am to 11:30am \nEast England | Thursday June 17 | 09:00am to 10:30am \nMidlands & South Wales | Tuesday June 22 | 09:00am to 10:30am \nNorth East | Thursday June 24 | 09:30am to 11:00am \nSouth East |  Wednesday June 30 | 10:00am to 11:30am \nLondon | Tuesday July 6 | 09:00am to 10:30am \nNorth West | Wednesday July 14 |  08:00am to 09:30am
