PPC Live 2023 has opened at Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate this morning, with more than 1,300 delegates pre-registering to attend.
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 will be 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 consists of practical indoor and outdoor product demos and seminars.
BPCA chief executive Ian Andrew said the association is glad to be 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 are at PPC Live, and we have more than 1,300 pre-registered delegates,” Mr Andrew said.
At PPC Live 2023, BPCA is asking ‘big questions’ and is looking for comments from delegates.
“There are 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.”
