Held prior to the UK Packaging Awards, taking place nearby at the London Hilton on Park Lane - make sure you plan to be in London for these key events in the 2013 packaging calendar.

Last year was a truly successful event - thank you all that attended and contributed to the discussions!

The Pira Packaging Summit 2012 featured the most high-profile line-up of speakers and panellists from across the packaging industry so far, including Stora Enso, Huhtamaki, Ball Packaging Europe, Sealed Air, Dow Chemical, consultants PwC and many more, as well as end users Kraft Foods, PepsiCo, SABMiller and Metro AG.

This one and a half day event took place on 13-14 November 2012 at the London Hilton on Park Lane, and was a platform for senior decision-makers throughout the industry to discuss key strategic challenges from across the packaging value chain and long term strategies for success. Run in association with Packaging News, and preceding the UK Packaging Awards taking place at the same venue, this year's Pira Packaging Summit was a great success.
