Registration is open for the "interplas 2017" (www.interplasuk.com) plastics trade fair. The triennial event, organised by the Rapid News Communications Group (Chester / UK; www.rapidnews.com), will be held from 26 - 28 September at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham / UK.

Interplas will have an auditorium built within the hall, called the "Main Stage", with a programme of speakers from the plastics sector. Three key industries (medical, packaging and automotive) are the focus for specific sessions on the Main Stage. The Mediplas, Packplas and Autoplas sessions will present an in-depth look at plastics innovations in these markets. Other features of interplas include the "Knowledge Pavilion" for getting answers and advice from industry professionals, a "Women in Plastics" event, a dedicated medical plastics zone and the "Inspex" marketing programme for metrology and inspection brands within the industry.
