To all Exhibitors / Visitors to Plastics Live UK edition.
Given the current market conditions, we have made the challenging decision to reschedule Plastics Live 2025 (UK Edition) to a new date in 2027.
Although the event could proceed as originally planned, factors such as proposed construction work at the CBS Arena, which would impact the visitor experience, along with economic pressures and global uncertainties, have led us to focus on delivering an even better event in 2027.
Our vision for Plastics Live 2027 is to offer a fresh, modern exhibition experience with a strong emphasis on enhanced networking opportunities.
In the meantime, our efforts are dedicated to hosting an outstanding Plastics Live Ireland event in Dublin in November 2025 and preparing an innovative and exciting concept for Coventry in 2027.
We look forward to welcoming you to these events and thank you for your continued support!
Yours faithfully
The Plastics Live Team.
