About The Advanced Ceramics Show

The co-location really works to bring companies together, whether it’s looking at graphene, carbon, etc. for batteries, - you can go between the two. And I think that transfer of knowledge is really critical

Prof. Jacqui Murrary, Director of South Wales, High Value Manufacturing Catapult

My key takeaway from The Advanced Materials Show that I would recommend to others is to just come along. There are so many different businesses here, it’s not just in materials, it’s people doing testing, it’s people doing analysis, 3D printing – there’s so much to see here. The talks on the stages have been fantastic – you can learn a lot, you can find something new.

The show has definitely helped us connect with both customers and other partners across the ecosystem of the materials world. It’s a great place for everyone to get together, come and have the conversations, look at what we’ve got to offer. We can understand more about our customer’s challenges, more about our potential partner strengths, and we can all work together and crack on with some of these challenges.

Having the opportunity to come to this expo where we have a multitude of technologies and expertise all under one roof really allows that natural innovation and those connections to form that frankly would not happen if people were boxed into one technology exhibition, so all of the expertise under one roof is very beneficial for participations and for visitors to the expo.

Ruth Nic Aiodh, Director of Vehicle Programmes, JLR

The four co-located events within the two halls is perfect because while we are sat in the advanced materials section, the other three shows: ceramics, electric vehicles, batteries, etc. – they’re all sectors that we are actually involved with. It's really valuable for us to be here against all of those.

Mark Daniels, Global Marketing Communications Lead, Goodfellow Cambridge Ltd

These events are just the best way to meet people, talk to them, make them aware of what we do, and also learn from them, and what they are looking for.

Olivier Savard, Thermal Analysis Product Manager, Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science Ltd

We’ve come across a lot of new contacts – not necessarily just for new business but for new technologies and new material choices. We’ve been able to expand our connections not just for our local facility, but for the global facility that we are working with – so it’s been a very good show.

Chris Johnson, Sales Manager, Coorstek

Having these four events all together presents the opportunity of all different technical teams to see a little bit around or above the constraints – this is an opportunity for innovation itself, so I really appreciate this fusion of the expos together.

Marco de Luna, Lead Product Manager, Battery Value Chain, Stellantis

People should come here and connect with the community that is growing all the time – this sector is going to have major growth, and the UK needs to carry on working, so that connection is important. That forming of partnerships and working collaboratively is important – this environment provides that networking opportunity, which is fantastic.

Naseer Ahmed, Commercial Director, UKBIC

The co-location of the various aspects of the show are synergistic because for example, the electrification and the batteries – they will encounter materials challenges. What better than to have the materials industry next door to them, having those conversations and working together in harmony?

Richard Goodhead, Chief Marketing Officer, Lucideon

Co-locating the different show subjects is going to cross-pollinate quite substantially between the different industries. We’re all working in advanced materials; it’s just the end product that’s different. So bringing everyone together is definitely going to help with that networking and help to produce new technologies and innovation.

Adam Revill, Product Manager, Nu Instruments Ametek

It's great to be here today - we get the right type of people coming along, looking for the materials and for the services, trying to find solutions to their problems, so it’s always a reason for us to come to The Advanced Materials Show.

Mark Daniels, Global Marketing Communications Lead, Goodfellow Cambridge Ltd

These four events are essential to impact the industry, mainly because they all link to each other, they are all important sectors – they are all the future of the industry, of the material science, it is good to have them in the same show.

Olivier Savard, Thermal Analysis Product Manager, Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science Ltd

You do a great job of promoting unique research and industry challenges at the theatre sessions – if you want to see where industry demands are going to be in the sector over the next 5, 10, 20 years – this is a really good starting place to uncover those demands and meet the people that are going to be driving it.

Tom Gould, Managing Director, Verder Scientific UK

We have been to the show for many years, we are a big fan and a supporter. It's a really great forum for everyone to get together and have the conversations that are necessary to collaborate and crack some of the challenges that we all collectively face

Richard Goodhead, Chief Marketing Officer, Lucideon

We’ve established new contacts, we’ve learned about new technologies, we’ve seen a whole range of really crazy type of things – I think it’s been a really good compact show, and I would recommend the show to anybody.

Chris Johnson, Sales Manager, Coorstek
