The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) announced its decision that exhibitor fees paid for the NPE2021 trade show — which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic — will be applied to NPE2024.
PLASTICS President and CEO Tony Radoszewski said, “We are pleased to communicate that the PLASTICS Board of Directors has authorized the following: All payments on a company’s account for NPE2021 exhibit space are to be applied as a non-refundable credit to the company’s account for NPE2024 exhibit space.”
Radoszewski made the announcement during a livestream, and was joined by Steve London, president of Bekum America and chair of the NPE2024 show. London said, “Perhaps the best news we can share with you today is that we can now move on from the NPE2021 cancellation and focus fully on making NPE2024: The Plastics Show the most amazing showcase for our industry the marketplace has ever seen.”
After the show was canceled in 2021, exhibitors were offered refunds for any fees they had paid exceeding 50 percent of their total. PLASTICS held the first 50 percent until the March 1 announcement that those fees would be applied as a nonrefundable credit towards NPE2024 exhibit space.
