Leading packaging experts from many of the biggest brand names in cosmetics, drinks and personal care have pledged their support for the ADF&PCD and PLD event by joining its advisory board.

The board has been created to help guide ADF&PCD and PLD to ensure that its programme covers the key challenges facing the market and delivers an unrivalled opportunity for visitors to solve their most pressing problems and innovate together.

Members of the advisory board include senior packaging experts from drinks, beauty and personal care brand owners such as Beiersdorf, Camus Wines, Courvoisier, Edrington, Johnson & Johnson, KAO, L’Occitane, L’Oréal, Unilever and many more.

The board will advise on how the show tackles key topics for the community it serves – including challenges around sustainability, design, smart packaging, regulatory challenges and more – to ensure that the most pressing questions are asked and the most impactful speakers take part in the conferences.

Josh Brooks, event director of ADF&PCD and PLD Paris, said: “It’s a great honour to have such an amazing group of individuals contributing to the creation and development of the features and content of the event. The collective expertise of the advisory board will help ensure that the event in January delivers a truly insightful and inspirational experience for every attendee at the event.

“I am very grateful for their support for the event and for their commitment to driving innovation and collaboration across the packaging sector and the industries we serve in beauty, drinks, personal care and beyond.”

ADF&PCD and PLD Paris takes place on 29 and 30 January 2020 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Paris and will play host to more than 700 packaging suppliers and more than 8,000 visitors.

As well as a host of features and attractions designed to inspire visitors and help them solve their packaging development and design challenges, the event will feature four conference theatres.

Each of the three co-located events, ADF – Aerosol & Dispensing Forum, PCD – Packaging of Perfume, Cosmetics & Design and PLD – Packaging of Premium & Luxury Drinks will host a theatre.
