PPMA Show website has dual function

The PPMA Show, the UK's annual exhibition for processing and packaging machinery, has launched its website at www.ppmashow.co.uk for the 2009 event, which takes place at the NEC Birmingham from 29 September to 1 October.

Now entering its 21st year, the PPMA Show continues to provide exhibitors with an unrivalled opportunity to demonstrate their machinery and equipment to manufacturers, processors and engineers.

The show's website has become a well-established resource in its own right, and in 2008 had 72,705 visits. There were 433,630 page views and the average time spent on the site was over five and a half minutes.

For 2009, the site will be offering online advertising opportunities for the first time, as well as providing all the latest information on the show, including visitor attractions, latest exhibitor list and floor plan. An interactive show planner will also enable visitors to make the best use of their time out of the office.

"The PPMA Show website provides a valuable dual role, not only offering a comprehensive guide to the current exhibition, but also acting as a unique reference tool for machinery buyers and specifiers," said Deborah Conneely, PPMA Show marketing manager.
