The iconic Beurs van Berlage in central Amsterdam on 14-15 November 2023 plays host to a special gathering that sets the agenda to ensure packaging meets its urgent obligations – and realizes its future opportunities. Through three interconnected events we’re mobilizing the leaders and pioneers of packaging innovation and sustainability to align strategically, learn, network, and create a critical mass to accelerate change. 

The Sustainable Packaging Summit is an impact-driven event, with a mission to bring together leaders and visionaries within and outside industry to confront the dilemmas, challenges and next steps on our pathway to a circular, net zero packaging ecosystem. Focusing on strategy and technology, this year’s event will feature multiple streams, including high-level panels, superstar keynotes, interactive break-outs and start-up pitches.  

Running in parallel, the AIPIA World Congress is the only smart packaging event covering the entire technology spectrum, for both active and intelligent applications.

It’s the meeting place for the global smart packaging industry, where brand owners and other stakeholders can network, inspect latest innovations, discuss the trends, and plug in to thought leaders around active / intelligent packaging and food waste, circular economy, supply chain efficiency, and marketing. 

Bridging these programs and audiences is the networking and awards dinner on the evening of 14 November. A time for meet-ups, relaxed conversations and chance encounters over fine dining, including the culmination of the Sustainability Awards – as we learn the winners of the “Nobel Prize” for sustainable packaging innovation.  

Together, these synergistic events and meetings build the essential platform for leaders and pioneers in FMCG, packaging and sustainability. The year’s unmissable opportunity for FMCG leaders, innovators, NGOs, regulators, recyclers, investors and entrepreneurs to connect, learn and collaborate.
