The Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) and UBM Live have announced a partnership through which IoPP will develop and promote a one-day packaging education conference at HBA Global Expo & Conference 2013. UBM Live is the producer of the trade show and conference, which will mark its 21st year.

The IoPP conference will take place on Wednesday, June 19 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, during HBA.  As the leading product development event for the cosmetics, fragrance, personal care and skin care industry, the international show draws more than 15,000 industry professionals, and will run June 18-20, 2013.

IoPP plans five, 75-minute presentations, which will be developed through its Packaging Learning Center. The sessions will explore branding, materials and other trends involving packaging. The presentation topics will be developed for health and beauty industry audiences, but will also include information that is valuable in general in elevating packaging’s role as part of business strategies at consumer product companies.
