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,

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.
