On the final day, September 23rd, the programme will start off with the Luxe Pack Trends Observer, featuring a panel of industry experts and consultants who will share their ideas about what is really hot in the luxury packaging category right now.
Two other presentations on that final day will focus on traceability and the fight against counterfeiting, as well as another roundtable debate about new solutions to elevate consumer interaction.
Over 450 exhibitors
The three-day event will start on Wednesday, September 21st, and will be held at the popular Grimaldi Forum, on the beach front in the centre of Monaco.
This year the organiser is expecting over 450 exhibitors, 40 conferences, 80 experts, and more than 300 product launches, with an emphasis on exhibiting packaging and related technologies for the cosmetic and fragrance categories, as well as other luxury products such as alcoholic drinks, chocolates and upscale foods.
As ever it will be packaging creativity and innovation that will be the focus of the event, highlighting the latest effects and detail that can give luxury products that all-important shelf appeal.
And let’s not forget the all-important visitors to the global event. In 2015 8,500 visitors passed through the doors of the Grimaldi Forum, 53% of whom were from overseas – a figure the organiser is hoping to repeat or better in 2016.
