Today, Wednesday September 9th furnace builder SECO/WARWICK will be offering an online seminar about Heat Treatment and Metallurgy https://www.secowarwick.com/en/eseminar/ This looks to be a very well organized event which has been some time in the making. As we have reported in the past virtually all heat treatment exhibitions for 2020 have been cancelled and moved to a “virtual” format, this will be one of the first “virtual” events so we will watch with bated breath to see what attendance is like for this event.

“No fairs and no meeting opportunities? The heavy industry has found a way to move on. On September 9, experts, specialists, academic lecturers, companies’ presidents from all over the world affiliated with metal heat treat processes will meet at an industry event – e-SEMINAR 4.0 Heat Treatment and Metallurgy. This is an international seminar organized by SECO/WARWICK from Świebodzin – the world leader in heat treatment and vacuum metallurgy.

Can it be done online? “In just a few months, the world moved online and leads a parallel life there: private, professional and business,” says Katarzyna Sawka, Vice President – Marketing at the SECO/WARWICK Group. “Industry, technology, business trades, shows, conferences and seminars have almost all been canceled, and the enormous potential of the world of science, technology and business has gone into hibernation. e-SEMINAR 4.0 Heat treatment and metallurgy is to meet the needs of meeting, sharing experience and moving forward after a short suspension period” – adds K. Sawka. Online transmission, interaction, simulation of the conditions of a trade seminar in real life is very difficult, but breaking technological barriers, learning in practice, the creativity of technological applications in everyday life takes place at the industry level every day. The same strategy was used to create the e-seminar.

Canceled industry events – specialists stayed at home; The Metal Heat Treatment Industry traditionally meets at over a dozen events a year. Themost important, most popular events are cancelled. This applies to South Africa, Asia, and Europe. “Any cancellation with the reference to a single conference, fair, seminar is not a problem for the entire industry, specialists, companies, businesses but not all of them at the same time. This is a systematic limitation we had to find solution for ” – adds Sawka. The prolonged crisis and the growing need for group interaction at the professional level made SECO/WARWICK, together with content partners and media patrons, decide to create an event that would meet these needs using the best technologies available in the world for interactive meetings.”
