Packaging Strategies 22nd Annual Summit Meeting The Business of Packaging Innovation A Packaging Business Strategy & Networking Event

A Clear Focus on The Business, Strategies
& Future of Packaging Innovation

The packaging industry is experiencing radical shifts toward “total systems” approaches to package and supply chain innovation.

This means decision makers – including those at the VP, director, and even general manager levels – are fully engaged in developing new business strategies that will drive the next-generation package innovation and create a competitive advantage for the future.

Content, Discussions, and Debates Will Target & Enlighten
A Greater Cross-section Of Packaging Professionals

The focus of the 2009 Summit Meeting will still be strategic. But its content will reach a broader audience of influential packaging professionals who understand that no one element of package innovation can succeed without a holistic approach – that technology depends on sound business strategies and a sound business strategy supports the pursuit, development, and successful, profitable commercialization of package, process, and systems innovation.
