PackNavigateThe Annual Packaging Conference
Navigating the world of packaging in an age of uncertainty.
Finding Direction in a Changing World.
09:00-14:25Expo Tel AvivIsraeli Packaging InstituteManufacturers' Association of Israel
Uncertainty is the reality. Navigation is the advantage.
There is no doubt that we operate in a time of uncertainty. The security, economic and regulatory reality changes quickly, alongside technological developments that reshape the industry and replace the solutions we knew until now.
These changes affect the supply chain, raw material availability, costs, regulatory requirements, consumer expectations and the way packaging is developed and managed. Precisely at a time like this, the ability to navigate well becomes a competitive advantage.
At the Packaging Institute's annual conference we will discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry's future: technological developments, packaging innovation, the impact of regulation, tools for managing uncertainty and approaches that help organizations keep growing through rapid change.
Beyond the content, the conference is a chance to meet Israel's packaging community: manufacturers, suppliers, developers, designers, and innovation, purchasing, regulation, marketing and academic professionals.
