ADF&PCD Paris, a dedicated event for the aerosol, dispensing, perfume & cosmetic packaging community, is returning in January 2020 alongside a brand-new show, PLD: Packaging of Premium & Luxury Drinks. This will create a new forum for packaging creators to share ideas and inspiration, and to source new suppliers and products from each other’s markets.
ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020 will take place on January 29th and 30th, 2020 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, and has been developed around the theme ‘Innovate Together.’ The theme reflects the show’s position as an event covering the closely related markets of drinks, cosmetics and aerosols; and an event for whole teams involved in packaging projects across the design, marketing, packaging development and buying functions within brand owners.
Event director at ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020, Josh Brooks, explained, “We take pride in being very close to our sector, and we listen closely to the needs of both buyers and suppliers in the packaging markets that we cover. It is clear that packaging developers, designers and buyers share common challenges across the cosmetics, drinks and aerosol markets – both in terms of technical challenges and brand positioning.
“The launch of PLD is a direct response to demand from our community for an event that offers the opportunity for packaging creators in the premium and luxury drinks markets to source and share technologies and ideas; and to learn from their colleagues in aligned sectors.”
ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020 has been developed in close partnership with an official advisory board, comprised of experienced industry professionals. It includes experts from many of the biggest names in cosmetics, drinks and personal care, representing brands such as Beiersdorf, Coty, Diageo, Edrington, Interparfums, Kao, Unilever and many more.
Confirmed speakers for this year’s event include senior representatives from brand owners including Beiersdorf, Diageo, Johnson & Johnson, Pernod Ricard and more. There will be 16 hours of content in total, covering the key themes and challenges in packaging development: technical challenges, sustainability and material choice, consumer and market trends, design inspiration and cross-functional team challenges.
Other highlights include:
“ADF&PCD Paris is already a significant annual fixture for the worldwide packaging industry. The inaugural PLD opens the doors even wider, showcasing fresh perspectives from the $4 billion premium drinks market,” Brooks added. “The event offers a joined-up view of the sector, and we aspire to initiate all-industry dialogue on many of the long-standing and emerging challenges facing multi-functional brand teams. We are confident that the expanded ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020 event will become a forum for truly groundbreaking ideas.”
