Vacuum Technology in Telford

New Meeting: Innovations in Vacuum Deposited Functional Metal Oxide Coatings

2010-09-28T10:49:00.000-07:00

For researchers interested in thin film coatings the Vacuum Expo exhibition is supported by a new meeting:

This features over 18 papers and brings many key technologists to the event. The ‘Key note’ speaker, Dr Zoe Barber of Cambridge University will give a talk on ‘The Exploitation of Functional Oxides for Device Applications’. Amongst the papers at the conference, there will be talks on conductive coatings for solar cells, transparent coatings for microelectronics, optical thin films and a selection on techniques for thin film deposition.

Talk amongst the vacuum system companies at the exhibition will no doubt include the topical subject of low temperature deposition on flexible substrates and plastics.

Registration for the exhibition (free) is now open - CLICK TO FAST TRACK INTO THE SHOW

Attendee registration for the Meeting is now available on-line.

New Event Partner

2010-09-06T22:50:00.000-07:00

We have this week secured NMI, the National Microelectronics Institute, as a Event Partner. The NMI will be running one of their quarterly engineering meetings at Vacuum Expo and are strongly supportive of our aims for developing this event into an important meeting place for industry and users of vacuum technology.

First Exhibitor books their stand for Vacuum Expo

2010-06-14T22:19:00.000-07:00

Last week we wrote to a few of the companies who were following our plans. We have now taken our first order for a stand. VAT Vacuum Products booked first, with Pfeiffer Vacuum and Oerlikon Leybold Vacuum both being quick to put a reserve on a stand. Their intention is to confirm this week.

Our plan is to put out a more general announcement this week and hopefully more people will be wanting to book into this event.

I had a comment from a potential exhibitor yeterday; "Telford could not be a more perfect location for a Vacuum Technology event".

New Vacuum Technology Event in Telford

2010-06-14T10:14:00.000-07:00

In recent years I have become aware that there was a potential need for a quality Vacuum Technologies event in the UK, the Practical Vacuum event in the UK was getting smaller and smaller. But what was the reason for this I needed to know. Wanting to understand the exact needs of this market, an open meeting was convened at Photonex last October. I asked lots of questions including “Is there a need for a new industry show?”, “Would it be appropriate to co-locate the show with Photonex in 2010?” All the discussions led to the conclusion that there was a definite need for a new show and running it beside a scientific meeting already established was considered an attractive idea.

It took a few months to decide on the structure of the event, the Vacuum Industry is a huge market, but very fragmented as there are so many different sectors. It appears in the first year we should keep the event really very general.

Vacuum Expo is now a reality!
