NDT 2017
5-7 September 2017, The International Centre, Telford, UK
The 56th Annual British Conference of Non-Destructive Testing, took place from 5-7 September 2017 at The International Centre in Telford, UK.
There were three parallel technical sessions covering a broad range of NDT technologies and applications, as well as a social programme including a welcome buffet on the evening of 4 September and the BINDT Conference Dinner on the evening of 6 September.
The Materials Testing 2017 Exhibition (MT 2017) ran alongside the conference, with over 70 companies exhibiting. For more information about MT 2017 click here.The International Centre, Telford is a stand out venue, centrally located in the heart of the Midlands. Set in one of the most industrious and yet stunning destinations, Shropshire – Telford is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the home of the UNESCO world heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge.
The new pedestrianised Convention Quarter, adjacent to The International Centre, comprises on-site hotels, bars, leisure, restaurants and retail, alongside an urban lake which connects seamlessly to the existing Telford Shopping Centre, the train station and major road routes.
