Xeikon Café Europe 2019 attracted nearly 1,000 visitors – including more than 500 label and packaging converters from 55+ countries – to the 3-day event.
"Once again it has shown its value to the industry with a substantial increase in visitors,” said Danny Mertens of Xeikon Café. “We are dedicated to sharing our knowledge and expertise in packaging innovation and digital production, and each year we plan ahead to evolve and improve the visitor experience. For 2019 we further streamlined our Conference and Academy programmes inviting speakers that provide ‘spot on’ and challenging insights, intellectual entertainment and food for thought. This year a key discussion addressed the significant changes in consumer behavior and communication that are impacting brand packaging and subsequently packaging production.
“The event delivered something for everyone whether newcomers to digital processes or those with more experience," Mertens continued. "It was clear that many of the visitors discovered new applications and production possibilities. We clearly recognize the need from the industry for straight-forward objective, hands-on information – both from a technical and a business perspective. It was particularly rewarding this year to see the label and packaging converters taking the chance to learn and connect and be inspired.”
