With our Miami, Florida venue we will be featuring several presentations related to the Latin America packaging industry.

Our program is always a balanced blend of industry analysis and insights, market data, business opportunities, and technical advancements. Our focus this year will be on the return to growth in consumer spending and the opportunities for packaging.

On the subject of sustainability, attendees will learn about updated CPG targets, new reclaiming capacities and technologies for both mechanical and advanced recycling. Additionally, we will cover the latest technology shifts in aluminum and paper-based packaging, which are driving them toward even greater sustainability.
