There has been many discussions since last year's IBC show, with some stating the show is too long and most recently we have seen suggestions that the show should be moved from Amsterdam, Amsterdam which has been it's home since 1992 and which the industry has descended upon, annually from 1994.
We're sure the discussions / debate will continue throughout IBC show this year and most likely after. You can't please everyone and one thing that suits one will most certainly not suit another so, it will be interesting to observe what will happen in future shows but for now...
the Polar Bears for one, look forward to IBC every year and we will be attending as usual to support our suppliers and friends in the industry. We've built up a great team, each bringing their own expertise to the table and have arranged their time at the show so that we get the best out of it and make it the best IBC show yet.
We look forward to meeting up with old faces as well as meeting new.
On one final note, we also very much love visiting Amsterdam, where else is it acceptable to consume Waffles with lashings of cream and chocolate sauce for breakfast!

Amsterdam has an impressive public transport system. Staying in the centre of Amsterdam we usually opt for the Tram. With a pass that sees us right the way through the IBC Show we easily hop on and off and rather useful in the evenings too. It may be worth noting, last year you were not allowed on with drinks or food so, ensure your morning coffee and waffle are consumed prior to travel.
You will also find the train system easy to use, a choice of taxi's (be careful of taxi drivers coming straight up to you at the airport, they can usually cost the earth, use the designated Taxi rank or any taxi app you may have) and for those of us who may be feeling more energetic you can hire a bicycle. Can always revert back to good old walking too.
