The BCPC Conference and related exhibition are widely recognised as the leading international event for all those involved with the worldwide crop protection industry. Each year, for four days in November, the city of Brighton becomes the centre of the global crop protection industry.
Some 1,500 technical and research delegates, over half of whom come from overseas, register and attend the Conference. In addition, at least an equal number of commercial and technical managers from around the world come to do business, entertain clients and keep in touch with industry developments.
