2nd Central European Plastics Meeting
About the event
Encouraged by the success of the 1st Central European Plastics Meeting in 2017 and by positive feedback from our partners, we have decided to hold our B2B meeting-based conference again this year - this time with a much wider participant pool, significantly expanded exhibition and demonstration opportunities, and more in-depth professional presentations.
Following last year's success...
In September 2017, we invited well-known and emerging plastics industry manufacturers from all over Central Europe to our inaugural conference in Siófok, where participants had the chance to build new professional and business relationships through efficient and focused one-on-one "speed networking" encounters. Following the conference, we received reports of a large number of new relationships and actual business deals originated at the event; and many participants said the conference filled an important market niche and expressed the need for a follow-up event.
...our goal this year is to again facilitate new business...
Accordingly, myCEPPI's goal for this year is the same: to organize a fast-paced, business-oriented event; where Central Europe's plastics-industry elite can congregate in order to make new business deals and new acquaintances, to find solutions for their technological challenges; and to encounter fresh ideas to improve their efficiency.
...across a wider spectrum of industry sectors...
Profit margins in the commodity plastics market have narrowed recently, prompting many players to try and move beyond this sector, seeking out new materials, markets or technologies. Recognizing this need, we are significantly widening the range of participants at this year's event, inviting producers and distributors of engineering plastics; manufacturers of auxiliary materials; and representatives of machinery makers—so that conference visitors can find new value-adding materials, technologies, or product development inspiration, all in one place.
...with an international perspective...
Hungary and Central Europe remain at the centerpiece of the conference, but similarly to last year, the event will once again feature an international guest: this year, it will be Japan's turn to introduce itself, strengthen its Central European plastics industry ties.
...and more than twice as many participants
Although the basic concept of the conference remains unchanged, our plan is to at least double the number of participants this year, thereby increasing meeting and networking opportunities:
In 2017:
18 Hosts
10 exhibitors
10 presentations
130 total participants
32 meetings per Host: a total of 576 meetings
7 meetings on average per Visitor
In 2018:
40 Hosts
20-25 exhibitors
11 presentations
400 total participants
28 meetings per Host: a total of 1120 meetings
7 meetings on average per Visitor
Our target audience: business development opportunities for all players of the plastics industry
We welcome all plastics industry companies and entrepreneurs who want to buy, sell, build contacts, cooperate, or invest in Central and Eastern Europe. We are reaching out to everyone who values growth, quality and innovation. We are inviting representatives of plastics processors, resin manufacturers, machinery makers, masterbatch producers, distributors, and auxiliary material and equipment makers alike.
