“Currently, the world has moved predominantly online, and this is where we live almost parallel lives: private, work and business. It is in this network that we work, meet, discuss, watch, explore, get to know and learn. What is valuable in this change is the feeling of independence and self-determination about the time, place, type and manner of communication and content consumption. Hence the need for e-Seminar 4.0. However, it should be emphasised that this is not another webinar, it is not a product promotion, it is not a virtual fair. It is a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience, a meeting of practitioners and scientists, an event perfectly adapted for today’s times,” says Katarzyna Sawka, Global Marketing Director of the Seco/Warwick Group.
e-Seminar for the first time
The pandemic resulted in the transfer of business meetings to the network, which became the natural choice for organising the world’s largest industry event for heat treatment of metals. This is how Heat Treatment 4.0 e-Seminar was created, where thousands of participants from all over the world will meet in safety and comfort without any time and territorial limitations.
In one venue, the vacuum metallurgy and heat treatment industry will share knowledge and experience; they will see, hear, read, learn, discuss the business and challenges of heat treatment, and unravel industry secrets. The purpose of this unusual meeting is to share knowledge, broaden horizons, exchange experiences and viewpoints, create businesses, and cooperate in the context of new global challenges.
Three thematic blocks, three different points of view
There will be three thematic blocks with three different views on the industry of vacuum metallurgy and heat treatment, one each from the point of view of business, maintenance and management, titled: "Business 4.0", "Daily challenges of heat treatment" and "Secrets of heat treatment". To boldly look into the future requires seeing it from different perspectives. This will be possible thanks to sessions held in English in three parallel meeting rooms, run and co-hosted by industry and scientific authorities. Major companies and influencers meet on 9 September on the Seco/Warwick e-Seminar platform.
Seco is eco
The activities of various entities in the heat treatment and vacuum metallurgy industry affect not only the business sphere, but also various aspects of social life and the environment. Business meetings are often combined with charity. It is no different now.
“The pandemic has shown the great need of our planet, so we decided that a symbolic $1 of each ticket sold will be donated to one of three social organisations: WWF, PETA or Greenpeace. The participants of the event will decide to which of the social giants the collected money will go. Seco is eco and so are its partners,” concludes Katarzyna Sawka.
