PPC Live 2023 is next week

mmBy Simon King15 March 2023No Comments3 Mins Read

The fifth iteration of PPC Live takes place at Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate next Wednesday (March 22).

Organised by the British Pest Control Association (BPCA), PPC Live in Harrogate is designed for UK pest technicians, managers and company owners, including local authority pest control staff.

The exhibition and conference is a chance to get hands-on with the latest and greatest pest management innovations, and to pick up some new skills along the way. This year’s event will consist of practical indoor and outdoor product demos and seminars.

Covering topics from invasive species to non-chemical rodent control, presentations will be taking place in a silent technical seminar theatre. With seating for 100 people, delegates will be able to listen to seminars via headphones – as they do at PestEx – so you won’t miss a single word.

In a series of outdoor demonstrations, industry experts will also be showcasing their know-how in a range of disciplines from working at height to adding Bluefume to building fumigation.

For a second time at PPC Live, indoor demonstrations will take place, which will include a session on practical application equipment for surface spray treatments and digital pest management set-up.

All seminars and demonstrations are completely free and open to everyone. Don’t forget, there will also be a range of exhibitors, displaying the latest pest control technology and equipment.

BPCA chief executive Ian Andrew said the association is looking forward to heading back to Harrogate – PPC Live 2020 took place just days before the country went into the first Covid-19 lockdown.

“We’re very happy with the number of exhibitors that will be at PPC Live, and we have more than 1,000 pre-registered delegates, which is encouraging with a month to go,” Mr Andrew said.

“If you pre-register, you’ll get a free hot drink and a free bacon butty, which is always an incentive for delegates to pre-register and gets them across the line.”

NEW FOR 2023
At PPC Live 2023, BPCA will be asking ‘big questions’ and is looking for comments from delegates.

“There’s going to be a series of big questions, where people can take a Post-It and add a comment to some of the big questions,” Mr Andrew said. “We are being a little bit provocative in some of the questions: for example, ‘is pest control just for men?’.

“We’re asking if resistance is the biggest challenge that we’re facing at the moment, and if we actually need rodenticides.”
