Save the date: Dresden Packaging Conference with exciting topics

10 September 2024

Is reusable packaging the solution or an illusion? What about innovations and strategies in the packaging industry and brands? What can digitalisation do for sorting? And which start-ups should you know about?

The German Packaging Institute (dvi) invites all players from industry, brands, retail, science and research to the 34th Dresden Packaging Conference in the Saxon state capital on 5 and 6 December 2024. Special conditions for early bookers apply until 4 October.

Everything is turning. This is the motto under which the industry gathers at the Dresden Packaging Conference at the beginning of December for the traditional end-of-year meeting. The programme for the two-day event will focus on key industry topics such as reusable packaging, innovation and strategy as well as artificial intelligence. The experts on the podium already include top representatives from WWF, Dirk Rossmann, Lindt & Sprüngli, dotch, Sykell, Cartonplast, Mehrwegverband, KI-Hub, Wax Solutions, Proservation and Herrmann Ultraschall. The dvi will be announcing more bright minds in the coming weeks.

Start-ups and young talent

In addition to the specialist presentations and discussions in the above-mentioned subject areas, participants at the conference can look forward to a whole series of exciting start-ups presenting themselves and their disruptive developments, according to the dvi. Part of the tried-and-tested Dresden mix is once again the presence of numerous students from packaging-related degree programmes from Germany and Austria. In this way, the dvi aims to provide young students with valuable contacts for building their own network at an early stage, while also giving the company representatives attending the event the unique opportunity to get to know the specialists of tomorrow at a very early stage and attract their interest.

Take advantage of early booking conditions

The traditional industry reunion will take place on 5 and 6 December in Dresden and, in addition to the lectures, discussions and presentations, will offer plenty of space for networking and making new contacts. The evening event on the Thursday of the conference will also provide an opportunity for this. The Dresden Packaging Conference is actively supported by Mitsubishi Electric, FACHPACK, Herrmann Ultraschall, Gerhard Schubert, watttron and FormerFab.

Registrations for the Dresden Packaging Conference and the preceding in-house exhibition at watttron and FormerFab on Wednesday, 4 December 2024 are now possible here. Special conditions for early bookers apply until 4 October 2024.Source: Packaging Insights
