2009 Summit Meeting Agenda Touts A
Noticeable & Meaningful Shift Reflective
Of 'The Business of Packaging Innovation'
The 2009 Summit Meeting of the Packaging Industry, set for February 25 - 27, 2009, in Clearwater Beach, FL, features a world-class lineup of executive brand owners, converters, and package and business model innovation solutions providers who will focus their talks and panels on total systems approaches to the business of package technology, processes, and supply chain innovation.
"Packaging Strategies has always expressed bold visions of key business and technology drivers in the packaging industry - and the "Business of Packaging Innovation" theme of the 2009 Summit Meeting of the Packaging Industry reflects that foresight," said David Luttenberger, CPP, Director of Packaging Strategies.
The conference will address the idea that no one element of package innovation can succeed without a holistic approach - that technology depends on sound business strategies and a sound business strategy supports the pursuit, development, and successful, profitable commercialization of technology, process, and systems innovation.
The 2009 Summit will also debut the Innovation Station Expo, where up to a dozen leading packaging innovation centers operated by brand owners, suppliers, private innovation think tanks, and universities will display and demonstrate their respective centers' packaging innovation capabilities.
