Experts ready to listen and help

Businesses will have direct access to industry leaders at National Manufacturing Week (NMW) in Sydney through a speaker programme running on the exhibition f loor throughout the event.

NMW organiser, Reed Exhibitions, has confirmed a line-up of presenters including Australia’s chief scientist, professor Ian Chubb, who will outline new ideas and information to help manufacturers expand.
