There’s nothing better than a capital city as the days edge towards Christmas. Alright, given the choice, I’d rather be in a German city, like Stuttgart, but when push comes to shove, London will have to do, even if I don’t subscribe to the view that when you’re tired of London, you’re tired of life. I’m not a great fan of London, but that’s because familiarity has bred contempt.
Why Stuttgart? Well, a couple of years ago I found myself on a business trip related to my obsession of that time: developing (from scratch) the Future Steel Forum conference, which was nearing the end of a good two years of research and development. Stuttgart, in fact, was where I met Professor Dirk Schaefer of the University of Liverpool, a man with whom I have struck up a very healthy working relationship based around the development of my Industry 4.0 steel conference, which next June will be celebrating four successful years.
Earlier this month, three years after that amazing trip to Stuttgart, give or take a week or two, I found myself in London, at a UK steel industry lunch, listening to the publisher of a leading manufacturing magazine as he talked to guests (after lunch) about the importance to the steel industry of digitalisation and Industry 4.0. And then it hit me square between the eyes. No, not a hard bread roll or a chunk of apple pie, but the realisation that when I set about creating the Future Steel Forum (which, one year later, would spawn the Future Aluminium Forum and other events around the world) I was way ahead of the curve. It didn’t hit me, however, until I found myself in conversation with Chris McDonald, CEO of the Materials Processing Institute, shortly after the aforementioned speech by the UK publisher. “You were way ahead of the curve with the Future Steel Forum,” Chris said – or words to that effect – and it sounded that little bit better coming from somebody else.
The next Future Steel Forum takes place at the Grandior Hotel, Prague, 2-3 June 2020. And guess who is speaking? None other than Dave Stickler, CEO of Osceola, Arkansas-based Big River Steel, a company that epitomises what can be achieved in the sphere of digital manufacturing.
