PPC Live 2020 will be OPEN FOR BUSINESS on Wednesday 11 March.

The British Pest Control Association are closely monitoring the situation with regards to COVID-19 (coronavirus) and liaising with the Yorkshire Event Centre (YEC) on appropriate measures based on advice from Public Health England (PHE), NHS England and/or the World Health Organisation (WHO). UK Chief Medical Officers have raised the risk to the UK from low to moderate, although the risk to individuals remains low. This means events held on the Showground continue to operate as planned and it is business as usual. We will continue to follow guidance from the Government and encourage all our staff and visitors to maintain good hygiene procedures.

Professional pest controller live (PPC Live) is the exhibition and trade show designed for pest management professionals to keep up with the latest and greatest things happening in the sector. You'll spend the day meeting the people designing and distributing the latest pest control technology. You'll hear expert talks and get hands-on with experience with loads of new pest kit.

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.

When: Wednesday, 11 March 2020
Where: Yorkshire Event Centre, Harrogate, United Kingdom
Times: 9am - 4pm

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED - YOU CAN STILL ATTEND PPC LIVE, JUST TURN UP ON THE DAY!
