Paris, 8 June 2023 – Paris Packaging Week today announces the launch of Future Leaders, a new initiative designed to highlight, celebrate and give a voice to the rising stars of packaging in the beauty, personal care, luxury, drinks and aerosol sectors.

The Future Leaders programme will bring together a group of packaging professionals under the age of 30 who are making a big impact in the early years of their career, whether they are packaging developers or buyers working at brands, packaging designers working at agencies or are working at packaging suppliers or manufacturers.

“Our mission at Paris Packaging Week is to give our community a vision of the future of their packaging and of the market,” said Christelle Anya, Content & Community Director for the event.

“The Future Leaders programme adds a new dimension by celebrating and giving a voice to the best new talent in packaging. In addition, the programme will help ensure that Paris Packaging Week responds to the needs of the new generation who are creating the future of packaging.”

The group will help to shape the future direction of the four shows at Paris Packaging Week – ADF for the aerosol sector, PCD for the beauty sector, PLD for the drinks market and Packaging Première for luxury products – as part of a Future Leaders advisory board.

The programme will give a voice to this new generation of packaging influencers by involving them in the conference programme for Paris Packaging Week, and offering the opportunity to contribute to Paris Packaging Week’s ongoing digital content programme.

In addition, the group will have the opportunity to meet senior packaging developers, designers, buyers and suppliers who are already part of the Paris Packaging Week advisory groups and awards juries.
