This free conference about the future of work is open to teachers, parents, students and career advisors.

Our South West conference promises to inspire young people across the region (plus their parents and teachers), helping to educate them about the huge variety of exciting careers in manufacturing and design.

Tickets went within one week of opening which is testament to the stunning location and facilities at Renishaw and the fantastic line-up of young speakers from businesses such as Airbus, Rolls Royce and other renowned local firms.

Being held on Monday 21st October at 5.30pm - 8.00pm, not only will we hear from inspirational rising stars in the workplace, attendees will also be treated to an expert keynote session, panel debate and Q&A.

We’ll be delving into how AI and sustainability are both shaping and enhancing roles, in addition to exploring what the future of work might look like for young people. Then, we’ll furnish attendees with information on what the next steps are for young people and resources that can be accessed to find out more.
