Focused on the theme ‘From Training to Production – Connecting the Steps within the Space Sector Industry’, the event will bring together organisations from across the supply chain for a day of networking, discussion and knowledge sharing.

Debbie McDade, Managing Director of A.R.T., said: “Space East plays an important role in bringing together organisations, expertise and opportunities across the region’s growing space sector. As a company focused on training, skills development and practical support for the electronics manufacturing industry, we are pleased to be working with Space East to host an event that reflects the importance of collaboration throughout the supply chain.

“The theme of ‘From Training to Production’ aligns closely with what we do at A.R.T. every day. Developing skills is only one part of the process. Understanding the materials, equipment, technologies and manufacturing practices used in production is equally important. Through our training programmes, practical facilities and Supplier Showcase Room, we help provide that wider understanding, making this event an ideal opportunity to bring together organisations involved in high-reliability sectors, including space.”

Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from guest speakers, connect with fellow industry professionals and gain insight into the technologies, skills and expertise that support high-reliability sectors, including space.

The event will take place at A.R.T.’s training and demonstration facility in Witham, where attendees will also have full access to the company’s Supplier Showcase Room. Developed to provide greater visibility into the equipment, materials and technologies used throughout electronics manufacturing, the facility helps bridge the gap between training, process development and production.

A range of industry suppliers will be represented within the Supplier Showcase Room, providing visitors with the opportunity to learn more about the products, technologies and services used across electronics assembly, inspection, rework and manufacturing.

Connect, Collaborate, Launch will take place at A.R.T.’s headquarters in Witham, Essex, on 2nd July 2026. Attendance is free, although places are limited and advance registration is required. To register, visit: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/connect-collaborate-launch-tickets-1990638753097
