LONDON, July 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2017, Penton's Aviation Week Network and SpeedNews Conferences will bring two groundbreaking events to the US manufacturing hub of Michigan. The Fifth Annual Aerospace Manufacturing Conference, to be held May 2-3, will bring together the leaders of major manufacturers and suppliers in the aerospace industry to discuss manufacturing capabilities and processes, best practices, advancements and innovations, automation, industry trends and best practices. Following that event, the first AeroAuto Conference, held May 4, will unite executives representing aerospace and automotive manufacturers and suppliers to explore the many synergies between the massive global aerospace and automotive manufacturing industries.

We are excited to showcase these strengths with Aviation Week Network in 2017."
