TPC'26 full agenda coming soon.

Our program is always a balanced blend of industry analysis and insights, market data, business opportunities, and technical advancements.

Our focus this year will be to bring clarity to the current industry chaos. We are looking at volatile material pricing, massive trade imbalances, complex tariff negotiations, a shift in consumer spending, changing consumer sentiment, the de-emphasis of recycling, industry restructuring, and perhaps a returning economy. This and more will be discussed at The Packaging Conference 2026.

NOTICE: It has come to our attention that, apparently, it is common practice in the conference industry to require presenting speakers to pay a fee to gain a spot on the agenda.  We consider this a serious breach of ethical behavior and a definite conflict of interest. We have neither asked nor required any presenter to pay to speak, nor have we ever required them to sponsor or exhibit. Requiring such would also be a conflict of interest. To be clear, we have also never, in our 19 years, put out a call for papers.

We live and work in the packaging industry every day and from that exposure believe that we can select the best presentations for the important issues of the day - presentations that will collectively bring value to you as a registered attendee. You deserve that in exchange for your registration fee.
