NMW 2018 is expected to attract thousands of visitors, exhibitors and speakers from more than 20 countries around the world.
“National Manufacturing Week is Australia’s only fully integrated annual manufacturing exhibition, and provides an unrivalled opportunity for delegates to network, collaborate and learn from one another,” said 2018 Exhibition Director Robby Clark.
“Last year was one of our record events in Melbourne, with more than 10,000 attendees coming through the doors. We are ready for another great NMW in Sydney this year, with a number of high-quality speakers and exhibitors already confirmed.”
NMW 2018 will also feature a Business Matching Program, which provides attendees a personalised itinerary of meetings and content sessions that match their specific needs and maximises their time onsite.
