A vigorous two day conference programme that included focused sessions on packaging design trends, sustainability solutions for luxury brands, and powerful discussion on how disruption ignites innovation brought record breaking attendance (an increase of 13% (from 2016) in overall conference session attendance).
The exceptional panel roster that included industry experts from Chanel USA, Clinique, WGSN, Euro monitor, Estee Lauder, and Anheuser-Bush engaged the full house audience with high level added value content.
Marc Rosen and his stellar panel once again brought standing room only attendance to the show. His top notch panel offered a high level presentation on how to create packaging that connects back to the brand image objective for not only niche brands but traditional companies who were looking to learn how to reconnect with today’s consumer looking for value in “the story” behind high end products.
2017 Event HighlightsIt was a full house for LUXE PACK’S first Packaging innovation workshop developed and moderated by John Morgan, Discovery Scientist, Amway.

A literal innovative display inside and out.

Due to its success and the positive feedback received from both exhibitors and attendees, LUXE PACK plans to make it staple show element.
