Exhibitions & Events

The BCMPA uses a range of industry exhibitions to engage face-to-face with brands and retailers who are looking to find 3rd party outsourcing partners.   

In 2025 we are exhibiting at six shows: The Contract Pack & Fulfilment Show (part of Packaging Innovations & Empack),  IFE Manufacturing (part of International Food & Drink Event), Making Pharmaceuticals & Distributing Pharmaceuticals, CHEMUK, London Packaging Week and the White Label Show.

Visiting brands, retailers and startups looking to find  3rd party outsourcing solutions to take their products to market can visit the BCMPA stands and be shown how to use the search facility on the BCMPA website to find potential 3rd party suppliers to help them take their products to market. They can discuss their requirements and be given practical tips on how to find 3rd party contract manufacturers, packers and ecommerce and logistics specialists.

We also visit a wide range of other exhibitions across the industry.

The BCMPA are proud sponsors of the UK Packaging Awards with the BCMPA Contract Packer & Manufacturer of the Year Award.  In addition, the BCMPA also participates in various industry awards including the UK Packaging Awards, Trailblazers and Women in Packaging, as well as hosting valuable panels at trade shows on the value of outsourcing.

In 2024 we hosted the BCMPA Conference in Nottingham at the Delta by Marriot and were delighted to welcome members and brands to discuss the future of the contract manufacturing, packing, fulfilment & logistics industry.

Please see our Exhibitions & Events page for further details.
