The third Vacuum Symposium UK Conference was a great success with more than 150 attendees. Together with Vacuum Training and co-located with an exhibition featuring a record number of vacuum equipment manufacturers this was a successful, growing event for everyone to discover the latest in the vacuum industry.
In 2010 (4th November) the RGA User Group held a ‘taster’ meeting at the 1st Vacuum Expo Exhibition, International Centre, Telford. The details of the programme and talks given at the meeting: ‘RGA – an essential tool for effective control of vacuum systems‘ can be accessed on this site.
