ADF&PCD New York follows the successful format established by its Paris show, with its educational conference programs, Innovation Awards and exhibition. ADF&PCD's unique proposition is its two-shows-in-one offering, based on synergistic markets.

ADF serves various markets – from technical applications, painting, household, food, pharma, among others – 53% of aerosols are used for cosmetics (according to the French Aerosols Council), and this international gathering will enable packaging experts from R&D, innovation, development, purchasing, sourcing, production and quality control, marketing and general management, to take stock of current trends and innovations.

The first edition of ADF & PCD New York will be held September 13 and 14, at The Altman Building and Metropolitan Pavilion located in Manhattan (135 West 18th Street). Admission to the ADF conferences is complimentary with a show badge
