Automation University offers multiple, live demos, seminars and industry sessions – bringing together solutions and specialists. The event features many of Rockwell Automation’s technology partners and a large central exhibition area, where visitors can see products and technologies brought to life.
Due to continuous assessment of the shows' programmes and differing regional needs, Rockwell Automation tailors the theming and content, helping to make the information, technology and advice at the shows relevant and up to date on all of the most important issues facing the delegates. And, thanks to the parallel streams and variety of what is on offer, users are able to tailor a programme that suits their requirements; meaning they don't miss out on vital sessions or have to sit through presentations that do not concern them.
The event is free to attend, and on average 150 people attend each one. Places are always in great demand, so anyone wishing to visit the show is encouraged to register their interest early at www.automationuniversity.eu. or by searching 'Automation University' and clicking 'on the move'.
