Presenting the latest technologies from 350+ exhibitors, this year’s PPMA Show promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Anticipation is building as the UK’s leading processing and packaging event returns with live demos, expert talks, and valuable networking opportunities.

Planning will be vital if you’re to get the most from your visit. 

That’s where the Matchmaker tool, Show App, and other digital features come in.

Make the right connections with PPMA Matchmaker

The matchmaker tool is a digital feature designed to make each visit even more focused and productive.

It will allow for personalised connections, even before the show has begun. So, you can arrive with knowledge of who you want to speak to and where their exhibition stand is located.

It’s a simple matter of answering a few quick questions about your challenges and priorities.

This will generate a list of relevant exhibitors, making it that much easier to find the innovations, practical advice, and expert support that you need.

It will help you avoid missed opportunities and connect with the right experts.

Explore the PPMA Show app

You can get even more from your visit with the PPMA Show app.

Putting the entire event at your fingertips, this app will help to plan, discover exhibitors, and navigate the show with ease.

Whether planning to explore the latest innovations, connect with suppliers, or hear the most valuable insights, it will make for the best event experience.

With the app, you can:

  • Create your own show agenda
  • Book seminar theatre sessions
  • View the floorplan and navigate with ease
  • Save a personalised list of favourite exhibitors
  • Stay updated with the latest show information
  • Search for products, technologies, and suppliers

With SmartScan and ContentCapture built in, there’s no need to switch between apps.

These features will also enable visitors to scan QR codes for the instant sharing of their registration details for follow-up after the event.

Capture the event experience with 360° Virtual Tours

PPMA Show exhibitors will have the opportunity to extend their reach beyond the show floor with immersive 360° virtual stand tours.

Using the latest camera technology, these tours will capture stand views and layouts, with the option of adding interactive offers and multimedia content.

The exhibitors can share product demos, exclusive offers, and downloadable materials for engagement long after show ends.
