to ensure it will be yet another spectacular show when it takes place between 24-26 September at the NEC Birmingham. Automate UK is excited to reveal that the well-known broadcaster, entrepreneur and writer, Gregg Wallace, will be spending a day at the PPMA Show exploring the fascinating world of processing and packaging machinery, robotics and industrial vision systems as he goes ‘Inside the Exhibition’.

“There is a good, wide range of products on show. We came to the show looking for automation partners, which is where our company is headed. We’ve visited the show a number of times and it always delivers good networking opportunities.”

SEMINARS AND PANEL DISCUSSIONS
The comprehensive seminar programme is one of the show’s highlights. It provides visitors with ideal opportunities to top up their industry knowledge and stay informed about the latest trends. This year’s keynote speakers are: • Stefan Casey, Nestlé: The digital transformation of FMCG industry: How digital technology is bringing both challenges and opportunities in packaging across the whole value chain
• Jessica Sansom, Huel: The manifestations of climate change – rising to the challenge and adapting to a new normal. There will also be a panel discussion by UK Automation Forum on ‘What would make UK food businesses adopt more robots?’. The panel will consist of representatives from the food industry who will be discussing the positive impact that adopting automation can have on the sector, whilst sharing top tips and learnings that help to ensure successful outcomes.
DEMONSTRATION THEATRES, TOURS, APPS AND MORE! Every year the PPMA Show organisers work tirelessly, planning ways to further enhance the visitor experience through introducing new features. One of them will be a dedicated live demonstration theatre where exhibitors will grab everyone’s attention when they take to the stage to launch their new products and services. Another new fantastic feature is a tour each day of the show for those visitors who may be new to the industry or a startup business. This is designed to increase their understanding about the usage of various machinery and what would be suitable for their business. This year will also see the introduction of
icons that will help to identify easily what sectors the exhibitors specialise in. Automate UK will soon be launching an app
for the show which will further enhance the visitors show experience. The app will offer a wide range of functions, such as the content capture which allows visitors to scan QR codes on the exhibitors’ stands to access information about their products and services. The organisers are also excited to announce that the networking reception will take place at the end of day one. This new event provides an excellent opportunity for exhibitors and visitors to connect in a more informal setting, with an array of food & drink available, along with a live performance from the wonderful Soul Brothers. The perfect way to wind down after a busy day at the show.
