Live demonstrations will take place on the Product Showcase Stage, focusing on practical applications of workshop tools and systems. The Flying Spanners Competition will also return, where apprentice teams from independent workshops will complete timed mechanical challenges.

Two optional pre-event training sessions will be held on Thursday June 19, offering more in-depth material delivered by international trainers.
