The next annual conference of the European Plastics Distributors Association (EPDA, Salisbury / UK; www.epda.com) will take place in Lisbon / Portugal from 15 - 17 June 2017. This year's keynote speaker is Vicki Pryce, the chief economic advisor at the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR, London / UK; www.cebr.com).

Other speakers include Wolfgang Funke, sales development manager at Solvay Speciality Polymers, talking about developments in high performance plastics and author Ross Bernstein presenting how championship-winning professional athletes possess similar characteristics to peak performers in business. There will be plenary sessions, including one by Daniel Stricker, head of Market Research at the Plasteurope.com publisher KI Group, about the development of plastics markets in Europe. The fast-paced "Ignite" sessions are designed to stimulate discussion and idea exchange based on a specific topic.

The gala dinner will be at the Palacio Foz, an ornate palace built in the 18th century. A charity auction for Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders will also take place at the same time.
