1. Can you tell us about your missions for All4Pack, particularly when many fairs were cancelled during the pandemic?

The All4Pack fair, like many others, has been postponed to 2022 (21-24 November). We have decided to keep promoting our communities throughout these months by offering regularly, webinars covering different themes. In this way, we have welcomed, in rather short formats, between 200 and 500 participants on topics such as the Packaging Revolution, Packaging pulls out all the stops, Objective Zero Impact, etc.

2. This public health crisis has led the economic world to rethink its operating and communicating procedures, etc.

Will All4Pack 2022 be part of these evolutions?

We can easily have physical and digital formats co-existing; we just have to use this complementarity as effectively as possible to add more value for our clients. However, the face-to-face salon remains a powerful and way more superior vehicle in terms of meetings, networking, and business.

3. Without revealing any secrets, can you tell us what will be the innovations and highlights of the All4Pack fair to be held from the 21^st to the 24^th of November 2022?

We are working on the programme and content of this 2022 edition. All4pack presents every solution and sustainable packaging. This is the common thread that will apply to the fair. We want to be the sounding board for all the positive initiatives of the different sectors. Some examples of our 2022 programme:

– Packaging revolution: eco-design, circular economy, packaging’s end-of-life

– Machines and industrial performance

– Tendencies and perspectives by material (paper/cardboard, glass, metal, plastic, wood, alternative materials, etc.).

– Focus on agri-food industry, e-commerce

– Solutions for sustainable logistics, empty space management

– An international vision of packaging

– An “Objective Zero Impact” area with the presence of the participants of change: innovative start-ups, companies committed to the environmental challenges of the packaging industry.

4. The CNE and All4Pack are long-standing partners, as the CNE offers its services to animate European round-table discussions at the salon. Can we imagine that we’ll do that again in 2022? On what subjects? In what format?

We have been working with the CNE for many years now. Of course, the programme of round-table discussions and conferences is open to the CNE. We want our partners to be able to take the floor about the salon. All4Pack and the CNE will work together to precisely determine the topics to be broached.

5. More precisely, Comexposium is a member of the CNE, so do you have any suggestions for reinforcing the CNE’s activities and thus promoting them?

All4Pack intends to unify the players in the sector and give them visibility. Our ambition is to present the different initiatives. In this context, we will of course promote the CNE’s activities.
