Over 90% of trade fair visitors found Empack, which took place in Zurich in 2023 in conjunction with Logistics & Distribution, to be recommendable. And they also recommend the industry platform taking place again in Bern on January 24th and 25th. The packaging industry is shaping its future.
In its established format, the event brings together decision-makers, experts, and companies from the packaging industry to present and discuss the latest developments, trends, and innovations. Together with key players, the trade fair, also through its accompanying program "The Future of Packaging," will address current challenges and the industry's thirst for knowledge.
Looking back on last year in Zurich, Marketing & Content Manager Kristina Nadjarian says the "Discover, Learn, Connect" concept has proven successful. Exhibitors and visitors from 2023 expressed extremely positive feedback regarding the two compact trade fair days and the numerous synergies with the concurrently held "Logistics & Automation" event.
Nadjarian adds: "We are very much looking forward to Bern. The overall conclusion of the last EMPACK 2023 in Zurich was extremely positive, and many participants are now looking forward to Bern as the alternating location." The commitment and satisfaction of partners and exhibitors are also reflected in the current booking status: With only a few remaining spaces, almost all exhibition stands were fully booked by late summer.

The "Packaging Talks," held in collaboration with the Swiss Packaging Institute (SVI), are a must-attend event. The first day focuses on "Sustainability, Circular Economy, and Recycling," covering new regulations, reusable packaging, and topics such as "Food Waste." The second day centers on aspects like "E-commerce, Digitalization, AI, and Skilled Worker Shortage." Additionally, the winning exhibits of the 2023 Swiss Packaging Awards will be presented live at the SVI booth during the talk sessions.
