A tour of a leading research and manufacturing tech company will headline the RIDBA Industry Day 2026 this autumn.
The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), in Coventry, will host the event which will bring together RIDBA members, partners and stakeholders from across the UK.
The MTC is a world-class research and technology organisation at the forefront of manufacturing innovation. Working with SMEs and major organisations, it helps tackle complex manufacturing challenges and drive technological advances.
As part of the day, attendees will be able to go behind the scenes for an exclusive tour and see the centre’s cutting-edge capabilities in action.
In addition to the tour, there will be a series of speakers who will tackle some of the challenges faced by members.
There will also be an update on RIDBA’s work and, in the association’s 70th year, a celebration of its history.
Opportunities for networking and catching up with industry colleagues will be available at points during the day with lunch provided for attendees.
RIDBA chairman Simon Pelly said: “Our Industry Day is always a fantastic event and a great opportunity for our members to hear new ideas, meet up with industry friends and see their RIDBA membership in action.
“The Manufacturing Technology Centre is the perfect venue to host the day and I’m sure attendees will enjoy visiting and having the chance to look around.
“It’s just one day away from your business and you stand to gain and learn so much by joining us. Don’t miss out – I’ll see you in September!”
RIDBA’s AGM will take place during the day. The Manufacturing Technology Centre, in Coventry, will host the event on Thursday, September 10.
