What to expect at Plastics Recycling Show - PRS Europe

Manufacturing shows are about machines, automation and productivity. Visitors come to compare equipment side by side, ask about throughput and integration, and look for ways to cut downtime and cost.

Two days go by quickly. Book your most important meetings for the first morning, when visitors are fresh, and keep the second afternoon for follow-up conversations at the booth. Expect most visitors to be plant managers and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for Plastics Recycling Show - PRS Europe

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, May 11, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (Jan 19, 2027)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels in Amsterdam while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Mar 16, 2027)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Apr 13, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (May 4, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for manufacturing shows

• Plan machine power, compressed air and rigging needs with the organizer well before the deadlines.
• Prepare ROI examples: cycle time saved, scrap reduced, payback period.
• Bring an applications engineer who can discuss integration with existing lines.

Booth tips for Plastics Recycling Show - PRS Europe

• Run equipment live where possible; motion draws visitors from across the hall.
• Ask what the visitor makes and what slows production down today.
• Collect the plant location and decision timeline with every qualified lead.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in Netherlands, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.
