Returning again to the World Trade Centre, Rotterdam, The Netherlands on the 26th - 28th October 2009, this is the must attend event to ensure you thrive in the current economic climate whether you are focused on NPD or manufacturing.

Both programmes are currently being put together following extensive research with our advisory board, many of whom will also be presenting their latest findings. As always, we welcome any topics you would like to put forward for inclusion in the programme.

New for this year is the Food focus day. Taking place the day before the main conference, the focus day examines in detail the most pressing challenges facing the NPD and manufacturing industries. This ensures that attendees can tackle their most pressing problems in depth, hearing case studies from industry leaders and how they have dealt with the challenge.
