  • Buyers with hardware to retire

    Registration asks what attendees are decommissioning, sourcing or processing, so exhibitors meet real projects.

  • Machinery running live

    Shredders, granulators and degaussers run on real e-scrap in the demo arena, to a published timetable.

  • Practitioners on stage

    Recyclers, ITAD leads and program managers set the conference, so sessions are about results.

Every part has a next life.
