Welcome from Nick Shields, Director, Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service
 It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the first edition of the SMAS Manufacturing Conference 2016 newsletter.
SMAS has a successful track record when it comes to delivering a conference jam packed with the practical and the inspirational to help you move Scotland’s manufacturing industry from where it is now, to where it needs to be.
2016 will be even bigger and better – relocating to a new venue to accommodate this growing bi-annual event. We have lined up two days of best practice visits, thought-provoking keynote speakers and practical workshops, along with ample opportunity to network and do business. We want you to leave inspired, invigorated and empowered with ideas, knowledge, tools and networks to make a step-change in your business.
It will be highly interactive, both in the run up to the conference and on the day itself. I encourage you to get involved by signing up to attend one of our many feeder events taking place across Scotland prior to the big day. Closer to the time you will also be able to download the conference app to join the conversation and connect with other delegates, exhibitors and sponsors. More details to follow in our next newsletter.
So whether you’re a small producer, a multinational or a stakeholder, there really is something for everyone at Scotland’s manufacturing event of the year. Take advantage of the early bird discount to book your place and start to get involved in the conversation and build your networks.
