Welcoming the announcement, Renan Joel, Managing Director of the Packaging Division at the event organiser Easyfairs said: “The line-up at Packaging Innovations this year is unmissable – there is something for attendees from every industry and job function. This is more than just a packaging event, it’s about the future of packaging, but also of retail, brands and the supply chain that connects us all together.” “The theme of this year’s event
is to offer solutions for every step of the packaging journey, from concept to fulfilment and everything in between. Even though this is only the first group of speakers we’ve announced, we hope it shows where we want the show to be,” added Joel.
