A series of seminars aimed at those involved within the manufacturing sector will form part of the programme of exciting events to be held at the forthcoming East Midlands Manufacturing 2004 show.

A series of seminars, aimed at those involved within the manufacturing sector, will form part of the programme of exciting events to be held at the forthcoming East Midlands Manufacturing 2004 exhibition, sponsored by emda, in association with Business Link, at Donington Park, 22nd and 23rd September 2004.

The dynamic, free, seminar programme is being sponsored by the Manufacturing Advisory Service - East Midlands.

The sponsorship will enable visitors to the regions premier manufacturing event, to attend any of the one-hour sessions without charge.

Over the two days of the exhibition, the 12 seminar sessions will broadly divide into three topical areas.

The first is identifying new marketing opportunities, followed by new product development and last, but not least, management techniques for the 21st century.

For East Midlands manufacturers, there is a largely neglected market right on their doorstep.

Collectively, the region's local authorities have a massive spending power.

One session will give an insight into their full range of procurement requirements.

Another session will highlight the rapidly developing potential in the wind energy market, currently worth GBP 30 million and growing.

And those who would like to tap into a GBP 15 billion market (yes, that's "billion"), there are sessions given by the MoD.

For those currently contemplating new product development, then sessions such as "The importance of R and D in manufacturing and new product introduction" are a must.

New products are the life-blood of any manufacturer.

Today, product life is shorter than it's ever been.

This means the shortest possible "time to market" is essential if the maximum potential is to be exploited from any development.

These sessions tell how to achieve just that.

Management techniques such as lean manufacturing and benchmarking suppliers are also always good crowd pullers.

For those involved in the automotive or aerospace industry then a session on e-business and e-procument is essential listening.

In both these industries the major players at the top are looking to reap the benefit offered by the emerging technologies.

For the smaller companies further down the supply chain, e-business will not be an option.

To keep any business they already have, small businesses will have to wholeheartedly embrace the technology.

Last year's seminars saw people standing in the aisles.

As places are strictly limited, and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, the advice is book early, because the programme announced for this year promises to be just as popular.
