The British Crop Production Enterprises’ (BCPE) International Congress and Exhibition will take place in Glasgow on October 15-18 this year.

The event, which is running alongside the IPPC Congress, will kick off with an opening night drinks reception, to which exhibitors will be able to invite guests, with the Agrow Awards ceremony and gala dinner taking place on Tuesday evening.

BCPE commercial seminars will take place between Tuesday and Thursday, and will include topics such as ‘The role of crop protection product stewardship in agriculture’, and ‘Beyond agriculture - opportunities to diversify’, from both the business and technical sides of the business, in the crop and non-crop sectors.

At this year’s exhibition, generic chemical companies will be located in their own area in the Hall. Hospitality suites hosted by over 30 companies will be located in various hotels around the area, and will be connected to the exhibition by a shuttle bus service.

BCPE chairman and exhibitions director Dr Colin Ruscoe commented: "With over 100 exhibition and hospitality booths in Hall 5, a key feature this year is the increased representation from companies in plant nutrition and new exhibitors from the contract R&D, biopesticides, publishing, software and not-for-profit sectors."
