The Interplas Insights Conference returns


We’re back at it. Interplas 2026 is around the corner – quite literally – which means the conference programme is taking shape. And so we’re now on the lookout for you, our trusted industry experts, to deliver snappy, insightful presentations that tackle crucial issues in today’s UK manufacturing landscape.


We’re talking everything from sustainability, the circular economy and digitalisation through to policy, regulations and supply chains’ collaborations. We want to know what the future of the UK plastics industry looks like to you, current and upcoming challenges and the opportunities that can arise from them, as well as how we’re positioned to mitigate them through new digital solutions, materials development and other innovative applications.

We’re drafting a high-quality programme, which includes R&D presentations, technical case studies and in-depth panel discussions. We want to steer away from promotional talks or sales pitches – for those, we’ve put together a nice floor plan which comprises over 600 exhibitors across three halls, so you’re sorted!

Diversity is, as always, strongly encouraged, meaning we accept submissions from anyone and everyone – we want to see all of you shine up on stage. The more perspectives, the better!


Below are the submissions we’re welcoming. This list is by all means non-exhaustive, but a general guideline to get you on the right path.
