As well as the extensive exhibition space that will demonstrate the latest innovations and trends from some of the leading individual European suppliers, the newly introduced Forum for Innovations will also serve as a unified platform for all that is new at the show.

As well as the show floor, the comprehensive conference programme will include a series of lectures with a particularly scientific angle, to showcase some of the latest advances in a number of key areas.
