The PACKBOX forum (Hall 9), TECHBOX forum (Halle 3C) and exhibitor forum INNOVATIONBOX (Hall 5) will all feature interesting topics and speakers.

Each day, the PACKBOX and TECHBOX forums focus on a different topic. In PACKBOX, which is all about packaging, packaging printing and finishing, these topics are “Market Experience and Expectations” (27.9.), “Sustainable Design & Material” (28.9.) and “Packaging: digital & smart” (29.9.).

Here are some more details about selected presentations:

Fresh thoughts on the supply chain

It all kicks off at 10 a.m. on the first day in the PACKBOX Breakfast Club with a keynote by Gunhard Keil from a renowned Zukunftsinstitut (futurology institute). The Viennese entrepreneur and longstanding advisor to the packaging industry reveals “Fresh thoughts on the future of the supply chain” in his presentation “Structure follows strategy or customer follows packaging?”

New Work: the brave new world of work

In the TECHBOX forum, the second day of the fair is devoted entirely to the topic of “New Work”. In the “war for talent”, the increasingly fierce competition for the best talent, companies need to offer attractive working models. Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., seven presentation slots look at the issue from various perspectives.

Turning point in packaging

The title of the hard-hitting and unsparing presentation by Eric Heymann from Deutsche Bank in the TECHBOX forum on the last day of the fair (29 September from 13:00–13:30) has the title: “The turning point and its challenges for the world and for packaging”. The Deutsche Bank director and senior economist takes a macroeconomic look into the crystal ball and explores the question of what the new realities about energy, supply bottlenecks and the shortage of skilled personnel will mean for developments in the coming years.

Live streaming of presentations via myFACHPACK 

This year too, the digital add-on myFACHPACK for matchmaking and knowledge transfer between exhibitors, partners, speakers and visitors will extend the on-site event into the virtual environment. Ahead of the fair, from 16 September, the new tool for visitors will give them the opportunity to network with exhibitors, partners and presenters. During the event, the PACKBOX, TECHBOX and INNOVATIONBOX forums will be live streamed on myFACHPACK and can also be accessed there afterwards.
