ADF&PCD and PLD Paris announces virtual show

ADF&PCD and PLD Paris is set to launch a virtual version of its world-leading packaging design and development event.

Following the postponement of the January show, organiser Easyfairs has announced that it is bringing forward an online version of the event - which covers the fragrance, cosmetics, beverage and aerosol packaging and distribution markets.

The ADF&PCD and PLD Digital Days project is the result of consultation with industry experts. Taking place over three days in March, it will combine speakers from leading beauty, drinks and aerosol brands with insight into the latest innovations, strategies and new products.

Each day will focus on a particular sector: Tuesday 23 March, PCD Digital Day, will focus on the perfume and cosmetics sector; Thursday 25 March, PLD Digital Day, will focus on wines, spirits and other premium drinks; and Tuesday 30 March, ADF Digital Day, will focus on aerosol and dispensing systems across the markets.

Hosted by an online events platform, the Digital Days will offer opportunities to network with other attendees, connect with suppliers and learn from experts in interactive conference sessions. 

The virtual event will also encompass the announcement of the finalist of this year's ADF, PCD and PLD Innovation Awards. Winners will then be announced at the ADF&PCD and PLD Paris show on 22 and 23 June. 

ADF&PCD and PLD Paris event director Josh Brooks said: "Our mission is to drive innovation, bring inspiration and connect the key influencers in the packaging development process. We are very excited to bring this mission to the digital space and to remain the first major event of the year to give our community a vision of their future."
