ADF (Aerosol Dispensing Forum) and PCD (Packaging of Perfume, Cosmetics & Design) has announced its conference schedule and speaker line up for PCD, which will be held at the show, September 6 and 7, at the Metropolitan Pavilion and Altman Building in New York City.
“We are delighted to be offering such a high caliber and compelling conference program this year. Our team has spent months conducting in-depth research, talking to brands and industry experts, to make sure we understood what the current industry challenges are. As a result, this year’s show has a really compelling lineup of topics and expert speakers that will address the major issues the industry faces today,” said Christelle Anya, show director for ADF&PCD.
Speakers from Birchbox, Colgate-Palmolive, Fashion Institute of Technology, Glossybox, Johnson & Johnson, LinkedIn, Pratt Institute, and other top companies, will explore a variety of topics including: the latest global beauty & lifestyle trends from Korea to Nordic chic; subscription sampling; the challenges of packaging in the eCommerce world, and how the design of packaging has an impact on business; a roadmap on how to make packaging more sustainable in the resource-constrained 21st century.

Session chair David R. Burke, assistant chairperson of Graduate Communications / Package Design at Pratt Institute, said, “I would like to focus on building bridges between packaging design professions and the more speculative work of packaging design graduate students (who may be looking beyond a product to using design thinking and research methods to review service) and system that are impacted by product and packaging design. There are a number of speculative, future scenarios among others that focus on visualizing climate change or speculate how we will live, consume, reuse and or consume in the future.”
