About ADF&PCD in New York

This September sees the inaugural ADF&PCD show in New York, after many successful years of being the most renowned show in Paris for the packaging & beauty markets.

The acclaimed specialty trade show brings its unique blend of aerosol and dispensing suppliers, beauty packaging manufacturers, and high-level conferences to The Altman Building & Metropolitan Pavilion, Manhattan, on 13 & 14 September 2016. Find out more about the Paris event below

The show will, like the Paris show, feature a high-level conference program featuring leading brands, as well as the Packaging Innovations Awards.

Dubbed the hub for packaging in New York, the core positioning of the new event is its two shows in one offering, based on synergistic markets. Aerosol & Dispensing Forum (ADF) serves various markets, from technical applications, painting, household, food, pharma, cosmetics, etc. All these fields are eager to seek innovations in packaging, dispensing, applicators and technology transfer. PCD (Packaging of Perfume Cosmetic Design) is the world’s premier event for the cosmetic & luxury packaging community and is a great source of inspiration and technology transfer for those operating within the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and fashion sectors.

“The launch of our New York show is in response to industry feedback requesting we bring our special expert meeting place from Paris to the United States,” says Event Director Christelle Anya.

This international gathering will enable packaging experts from R&D, innovation, development, purchasing, sourcing, production and quality control, marketing and general management, to take stock of both current trends and innovations.

ADF&PCD New York is organized by the newly formed EFI US, Inc. based in New York City, which is owned by Artexis Easyfairs, organizers of the European Packaging Innovations portfolio of events. Find out more about the Paris event below
