Rescheduling the event to June 29 and 30 allowed the event to take on its new identity six months ahead of schedule. The ADF, PCD and PLD shows are now held under a single umbrella brand: Paris Packaging Week.

The two-day event has been designed to help participants to anticipate trends, support developments, extend networks and boost their packaging businesses in the beauty, premium drinks and aerosols sectors. All in all, Paris Packaging Week will offer more than 30 hours of content presented by more than 40 speakers who will share their ideas and visions in their specialised fields.

The Talks programme will thus unveil trends on the future of perfume and cosmetic packaging, will present all the latest topics in the aerosol industry, and will facilitate meetings between the premium drinks world and design agencies and packaging players.

"It is a great pleasure for us to have been able to gather so many experts and I would like to thank all our speakers who are involved. I am sure that these two days of conferences at the heart of the event will allow the entire community to meet today’s challenges and innovate together," says Christelle Anya, Content and Community Director, Paris Packaging Week.

- How to understand consumer behaviour? Macro & Beauty Movements 2022 - 2026
- Aerosols, regulation and public perception: the outlook for 2022/2023
