With the dust settled on a successful MACH 2018, the Manufacturing Technologies Association (MTA) has announced that the Web site for the 2020 event (www.machexhibition.com) is now live, and that the ballot process for MACH 2020 is now open.

The new Web site has been designed to be even easier to navigate, update and view on mobile devices; it also contains all the latest MACH 2020 news, as well as full details of companies exhibiting at the next show.

James Fudge, head of events at the MTA, which organises the exhibition on behalf of the industry, said: “After a successful MACH 2018, we have turned our full attention to the 2020 show and making sure that we improve our offering for visitors and exhibitors alike.

“With the launch of the new Web site and Ballot 1 now open, we are seeing MACH 2020 really starting to take shape.”

Preparations for 2020 are already well under way, with over 5,000m2 of space allocated to exhibitors, although the prime areas in the halls are available through a ballot system.

Applications for Ballot 1 opened at the end of July; this is for stands above 200m², and applications close on 5 September (the draw will take place on 7 September).

Ballot 2 is for stands below 199m^{2 and will open in September, with the draw taking place by the end of October).}
