The full schedule for PPC Live 2020 has been announced and we’ve packed it with illustrious speakers from across the sector.
Taking place on Wednesday 11 March at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate, PPC Live is for the pest management professional.
Whether you’re an experienced pest control technician, a surveyor, support staff, a specialist, or just want to learn more about the sector – this one-day event is for you.
What to expect
Covering topics from rodenticide resistance to fumigation, presentations will be taking place in our silent technical seminar theatre.
With seating for 100 people, the seminars will use headphones like PestEx, so you won’t miss a single word of the presenters.
In a series of outdoor demonstrations, industry experts will also be showcasing their know-how in a range of disciplines from airgun use to new laser technology.
And in an exciting PPC Live first, we'll be introducing indoor demonstrations too, such as Clive Boase's insect ID drop-in and a proofing products presentation.
All seminars and demonstrations are completely free and open to everyone.
And don't forget: there will also be a range of exhibitors, displaying the latest pest control technology and equipment.
This isn't your standard trade show. We're committed to making sure you leave with new knowledge and experiences you can apply to the day job.
It’s a great opportunity to build up some CPD points, which will be available for anyone on the BPCA Registered scheme or BASIS Prompt.
