Cleaning Products Europe 2014: book your place now!
Cleaning Products Europe 2014 is taking place at the Hilton Deansgate, Manchester, UK from 25th - 27th March and will consist of an interactive pre-conference workshop, two full days of high level presentations, insightful panel discussions and excellent networking opportunities. Discounted Early Bird tickets are available but the offer expires 20th December, so if you're planning to attend it's worth booking now.
The conference programme will once again be supported by key players from throughout the cleaning products industry, including representatives from Unilever, P & G, the UK Cleaning Products Industry Association and Mintel to name a few, and will continue to explore topical themes of innovation, collaboration and communication throughout the industry. As a new addition for 2014, companies will be given the opportunity to showcase their latest technical innovations and research during the welcome drinks reception and innovation showcase.
Past Cleaning Products Europe events have attracted around 100 delegates from companies throughout the supply chain and for 2014; this event has the scope to grow, bolstered by the current dynamism in the UK market and the new event location in Manchester.
The conference will build on the success of previous events and continue the active dialogue between stakeholders to drive green innovations. The programme will focus on driving the progress and development of innovative sustainable cleaning and will represent the whole value chain, to build the bridges from manufacturers to consumers.
"The conference will bring together every level of the value chain, with an agenda focused on providing a 360 degree view on what changes are set to impact or disrupt the industry," say the organisers. "Presentations will highlight what developments and changes are needed to drive the industry towards the end goal of achieving a profitable yet sustainable industry, whilst minimising the negative impact on society and the environment."
