Exhibitors and speakers gear up for RWM 2014

Now in its 47th year, the three-day event at the NEC will play host to more than 750 exhibitors displaying the latest industry products and services from 16th to 18th September 2014.

Organised in partnership with the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM), and supported by the Environmental Services Association (ESA), more than 13,000 visitors are expected to attend the show this year including council officers, waste contractors and consultants.

Meanwhile, the show will make a transition to Halls 4 and 5 of the NEC in order to provide ease of access and allow visitors easier navigation of the exhibits. The halls are the largest exhibition rooms in the UK.
