NDT 2018

10-12 September 2018, East Midlands Conference Centre and Orchard Hotel, Nottingham, UK 



The 57th Annual British Conference on Non-Destructive Testing took place from Monday 10 to Wednesday 12 September 2018 at the East Midlands Conference Centre and Orchard Hotel, Nottingham, UK.

For the first time, the conference was co-located with the Fifteenth International Conference on Condition Monitoring and Machine Failure Prevention Technologies (CM 2018/MFPT 2018), which allowed delegates to customise their experience by visiting both events under one roof.

BINDT has always recognised the importance of encouraging students to participate in this major international event. As a repeat to the gesture in 2017, the 57th Annual British Conference on Non-Destructive Testing provided generous sponsorship of student registrations in 2018, resulting in a major reduction of fees for student attendance.

The East Midlands Conference Centre (EMCC) and adjacent Orchard Hotel are set in 330 acres of the University of Nottingham’s landscaped parkland.
