Detroit — Plastics News will transition its annual Plastics Caps & Closures Conference to a virtual format, running Sept. 21-25 and featuring nearly 25 speakers.
The event will include 15 virtual sessions.
The conference had been scheduled to take place Sept. 21-23 in Schaumburg, Ill., but is transitioning to a virtual schedule in light of health concerns and travel restrictions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
The virtual format will expand the event’s reach to a global audience.
Highlights include:
• Keynote address from Peter Clarke, called “the packaging design guru” by Brandweek magazine and the founder and CEO of Product Ventures, a Fairfield, Conn.-based product and packaging design firm.
• Panel discussions on recycling, tethered closures and sustainable brand packaging.
• A special panel featuring finalists for Plastics News‘ Plastics Caps & Closures Innovation Award.
• Five “Ask the Expert” livestreams.
