~ The UK’s leading EMC exhibition returns to Newbury Racecourse ~

The UK’s leading exhibition on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), EMC & Compliance International returned to Newbury Racecourse, Newbury, on May 16 and 17, 2023, bringing the EMC and Compliance communities together to share knowledge, network and do business face-to-face. The exhibition also featured free technical workshops and EMC consultations with world-leading experts and specialist EMC training sessions for paid guests, both led by world-renowned experts in EMC and compliance.

EMC and Compliance International 2023 featured exhibitors from across the world of EMC and compliance, including Telonic Instruments, HITEK, Castle Microwave, Lambda Photometrics, REO UK, Wurth Elektronik and Cherry Clough Consultants. Exhibitors took the chance to showcase their latest innovative products and solutions at the show, and many of them commented on the busy atmosphere and positive feeling over the two days.

Following the success of its 2022 event, EMC & Compliance International expanded the exhibition to all three floors of the main grandstand at Newbury Racecourse. The ground floor featured the main exhibition, while the first and second floors offered free technical workshops for visitors, free EMC consultations as part of the show’s ten minutes with an expert (TWEX) feature and EMC training workshops for paid delegates.

The exhibition also included a full programme of EMC free technical workshops and additional training workshops for paid delegates. The free workshops included sessions on EMC Test Challenges for Military/Electric Aircraft with Gavin Barber, EMC Design for the Power & Electronics Applications with Min Zhang, Practical compliance for Manufacturers with Paul Duxbury and EMC Risk Management with Oskari Leppäaho.

The training programme, led by Keith Armstrong and other associates of Cherry Clough, included sessions on navigating the path to EMC compliance, getting the most from a spectrum analyser, troubleshooting EMI, cost-effective EMC filtering, designing cost-effective EMC shielding, and more. Keith has decades of experience with EMC, having been a member of the IEEE EMC Society since 1997 and having been the UK representative on the IEC teams for IEC61000-1-2 (on EMC & Functional Safety) and IEC60601-1-2 (on EMC for Medical Devices) since 2000.

Following the success of 2023’s event, EMC and Compliance International will return to Newbury Racecourse on May 22 and 23, 2024. Registration to exhibit at next year’s show is open on the website, so email jessica@stonejunction.co.uk to book your stand today.

~ The EMC community bounces back at EMC and Compliance International ~

The UK’s leading exhibition on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), EMC & Compliance International returned to Newbury Racecourse, Newbury, on May 18 and 19, 2022, bringing the EMC community together for the first time since before the coronavirus pandemic. The free, two day exhibition gave the industry’s leading professionals and companies the chance to meet face-to-face, network and discover the latest innovations. The exhibition also featured workshops and guest talks led by experts in EMC and compliance.

EMC and Compliance International 2022 featured 30 exhibitors, made up of experts on topics such as new EMC directives, test equipment and the latest EMC modelling software. Notable exhibitors included Wurth Elektronik, HITEK, Castle Microwave, Lambda, REO UK, Kiwa Electrical Compliance, NTD and Cherry Clough Consultants. Exhibitors took the chance to showcase their latest innovative products and solutions at the show, and many of them commented on the busy atmosphere and positive feeling over the two days.

The exhibition also included a full programme of EMC technical and training workshops, featuring guest speakers such as Dai Davis, partner at Percy Crow Davis & Co, and Professor Dave Thomas from Nottingham University. Keith Armstrong, along with other associates of Cherry Clough, also provided training workshops on subjects such as suppressing electrostatic discharge (ESD) and how to calibrate and use a network analyser.

On the evening of the first day of EMC and Compliance International, the IEEE EMC Society’s UK & Northern Ireland Chapter ran a free event on ‘The nuts and bolts of UKCA and UKNI marking’, in conjunction with the EMC Test Labs Association. This was another opportunity for exhibitors and visitors to network with industry experts and share their knowledge.

This was the first live event for EMC & Compliance International in seven years after a successful virtual event in 2021. Following the success of 2022’s event, EMC and Compliance International will return to Newbury in 2023 and registration is now open for the show.
