Brands and agencies speaking include; Diageo, Coty, Design Bridge, Butterfly Cannon, The Cabinet Agency, Bulletproof and SharpEnd. It will consider the current trends, themes and issues facing packaging designers of today, with key topics including ‘packaging design in the goldfish era’, ‘designing for a new generation’ and ‘technology enabled creativity’.
The exclusive partnership, will also provide visitors with a unique opportunity to explore this year’s finalists in The Pentawards Exhibit – a sleek display of inspirational packaging design.
