ALTAIR TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE - UK 2013

UK technology exposition 2013

 

 

 


The UK Altair Technology Conference, is considered to be the UK's leading virtual design event. The one day conference is free to attend - and the 8th in the series. Altair brings together companies which have benefited significantly by integrating the latest computer aided engineering (CAE) technology into their design processes. By sharing their experiences, the presenters will offer those attending practical insights which can be directly applied in the workplace.

Thought-provoking keynote speakers and cutting edge technical case studies, reveal how firms from diverse industry sectors including automotive, aerospace, medical device and consumer goods, have successfully designed and commercialised products in reduced timescales and at lower design and manufacturing cost.

Over 350 delegates are expected. The material presented will benefit hands-on practitioners, their managers and people tasked with compressing design times or producing innovative products.

If you are interested in learning more about:

• The latest developments in CAE technology and you'd like to see first hand how industry leading companies are applying the solutions to meet real world virtual design challenges.

• Best practices to improve your own virtual design performance and bring products to market faster and cheaper in a challenging environment.

• Networking with prominent individuals in the UK engineering community and discuss key points of interest, get new ideas and improve your own processes.
