Cenex Expo 2024 – Net Zero · Connected Automated Mobility

UTAC Millbrook

Cenex Expo, originally Cenex-LCV and Cenex-CAM, is the leading event in the UK innovation community. With over 4,000 visitors in attendance last year, the event offers a wide range of exhibitors, an extensive seminar programme and many networking opportunities. As part of the outdoor exhibition there is also the opportunity to ride & drive the latest research & development vehicles. Supported by government agencies, the event brings together the people who will deliver the net zero and connected automated mobility future.

National Bat Conference 2024

University of Reading

The programme will include a great selection of talks, a topical panel discussion, 2 workshop sessions as well as lots of networking opportunities.
National Bat Conference 2024
The National Bat Conference is the biggest event in the bat calendar and this year returns as a hybrid event! An opportunity to hear from experts, develop your skills and connect with bat workers from across the country – catch up with old friends and make new ones.

Each spike in the graph relates to a bat presence in the selected ‘Rectangle 1’ and each image was taken from the corresponding spike. We can see the first spike was an emergence, whereas the others were bats entering the area. The user can select as many areas as they like and perform the same analysis on each area.

DVD2024

UTAC Millbrook

Working together to pull the future into the present

, industry and Defence in the Land Equipment sector will meet at UTAC Millbrook for two days of coordinated engagement through informal discussions, briefings, demonstrations and displays. Jointly sponsored by Defence Equipment & Support (Land Equipment) and Army Headquarters, DVD2024 will provide opportunities for industry and key MOD stakeholders to discuss ‘Battle Winning Ideas’, resilience and collaboration, delivering increased capability and the ability to exploit innovation.

The focus for DVD2024 will be on delivering a More Modern, More Lethal and More Productive Army; forming military partnerships and generating investment into UK industry through the Land Industrial Strategy; learning from current conflicts and adapting at pace to optimise procurement priorities; accelerating the Future Soldier programme; and working with industry to exploit science and technology to develop next-generation capabilities to meet the requirements of a modern, lethal army.

Maj Gen Lizzie Faithfull-Davies CBE, the newly appointed Director Land Equipment, said: “The role of DVD has always been crucial to defence procurement, encouraging collaboration between industry, our customers in the Army, and ourselves in DE&S as collectively we seek to continue building a
more modern and lethal Army.

“I am delighted that in my new role as Director Land Equipment I am able to be more directly involved in DVD2024 and I am looking forward to having the opportunity to engage with industry, alongside Army HQ and HQ Field Army staff. The event will provide a unique opportunity for industry to gain a better understanding of MOD needs, through direct engagement with Army, and the expertise of DE&S staff to advise on procurement and support issues. DVD also provides an opportunity for industry-to-industry engagement.”

LST_cci User Workshop

Space Park Leicester, UK

The Thermal Remote Sensing Workshop is primarily an educational and networking opportunity, with invitations extended to scientists, researchers, public institutions, and private companies interested in learning more about thermal remote sensing and making new connections within the community.

In the last few conferences we heard many people saying that they want to start working with thermal remote sensing data, but don’t know how to. We have heard you! And so we secured funding to hold a workshop this year to meet the needs of our community. We have based the agenda on the questionnaire issued in December 2023. See the questionnaire results.

The workshop is free of charge for participants. We only ask that you provide information on how your current or future work will benefit from attending the workshop.

The workshop is being organised in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) Land Surface Temperature Climate Change Initiative (LST_cci). The LST_cci User Workshop 2024 will be held on 5th and 6th December 2024 immediately after the Thermal Remote Sensing Workshop, in the same venue. There will be a cross-over session between the two workshops on Wednesday 4th December focusing on applications of thermal remote sensing, including LST. The LST_cci User Workshop is also a free event. The LST_cci project aims to provide an accurate view of temperatures across land surfaces globally over the past 20 to 25 years and meet the requirements of Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) for climate applications. Detailed information about the LST_cci project and the data produced by the project can be found at https://climate.esa.int/en/projects/land-surface-temperature/ .

We are looking for participants from research institutions, as well as companies. If you represent a private company and would like to present and/or have a stand at the workshop to advertise your business in our community, and are open to sponsoring our event, please contact us.
