Supported by an exhibition, interactive displays and technology demonstrations from the UK's Profibus Competence Centre, the two-day event is a must for engineers, managers, applications, technical support and sales personnel involved in design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of factory and process automation components and systems.

The two-day package including conference, four-star accommodation and the feast is priced at just GBP 388 plus VAT.
For those arriving the night before - midsummer night - for just GBP 39 extra there is the opportunity to join in a special Shakespeare Evening featuring a preview performance of King Lear at the RSC with a pre-theatre dinner and post-theatre dessert at the nearby Coconut Lagoon and Georgetown restaurants.
Day delegate packages are available for just GBP 120 plus VAT per day or GBP 195 plus VAT for both days, including all daytime refreshments.
Early booking is strongly recommended for this event as places are strictly limited and are offered strictly on a first-come, first-served basis.
