David Harrison, chief operating officer at PPMA Group of Associations, the organisers of the PPMA Show said “Our industry has been working overtime during the last 18 months to keep the supply chain moving and coming together once again as the biggest group of industry experts at the end of September is so needed. We are looking forward to opening the doors to the show once again and creating the space for innovation, technology, business and conversation to flourish!”
Both the PPMA and Rapid News Group are committed to creating the platform for the manufacturing industry to flourish and evolve, working closely with the NEC and event industry bodies to develop COVID Secure guidelines to safely provide opportunities to network, learn and build valuable connections.
Duncan Wood, chief executive at Rapid News Group, organisers of Interplas, TCT 3Sixty and Med-Tech Innovation Expo said: “We cannot wait to re-open the doors to welcome back our exhibitors, speakers and attendees. By giving visitors access to all four events with one badge, they can see a wide spectrum of innovation in the manufacturing industry in one place, alongside a world-class multi-stage conference programme.
“Thousands of visitors have registered to attend, showing that the manufacturing community has missed the opportunity to interact in a live environment. We are looking forward to presenting more than 1,000 exhibitors across the five halls. 1,000 reasons to come and join us!”
