Nuts and bolts
The industry conference operates like a non-profit, making enough revenue to support the current event, have enough operating capital to support next years’ event and give any remaining amount back to the industry in the form of scholarships, sponsoring testing and research, and other creative ideas still in the works.
They have assembled a list of suppliers to support the effort, including 21 Founding & Diamond Sponsors. Oliver Healthcare Packaging, Network Partners, Packaging Compliance Labs, Plastic Ingenuity, and Johnson & Johnson comprise the founding sponsors. The organizers seek to deliver "a state-of-the-art technical conference that connects peers and re-energizes careers by presenting fresh new content in an environment that sparks passion, drive and curiosity."
