Start Your Xperience

Registration Open: AICC Packaging Xperience

AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, is bringing together a lineup of changemakers, industry experts, and innovative thinkers to answer some of the most challenging questions packaging manufacturers have about their customers at the AICC Packaging Xperience, May 22-24, in Chicago, IL.

Packaging Xperience will help attendees understand what end users are looking for today for retail and e-commerce, so they can best help their customers meet their goals.

During a series of general sessions, this conference will take attendees into the minds of their customers when it comes to service, design, sustainability, and how to reach them in new ways, like through the right social media channels.

Adam Peek, SVP, Myers & Host of The Packaging Podcast, will help companies stand out and find customers in new ways during Blue Ocean Strategy in a Sea of Sameness. In her session, Laura Foti, Chief Marketing Officer, Specright, will explain How to Use Technology to Transform Your Workforce, Achieve Business Goals, and Delight Customers. Sustainable packaging and how it is part of the product, its use, and how it is shipped is what customers and consumers are talking about all over social media. Cory Connors, Sustainable Packaging Consultant, Orora, will explain what they say and how it can impact a box plant’s bottom line during Sustainable Packaging in Social Media.

Attendees will also hear from growing brands and industry professionals:
