This year’s organizational and program formula carried out over 3 days included 4 panel blocks, conducted with the participation of leading leaders and experts in the paperboard and packaging industry, so that their attractive course was able to attract the attention of a huge number of listeners each time.

Unlike the structure of the program traditionally implemented in previous years, on the first day of this year’s Seminar (25.10.), the substantive part of the three-day debates opened with a meeting with European leaders of our industry, entitled “High-level-panel discussion on innovation and reuse.” On the following days (26-27.10.), panel blocks dedicated to the discussion of challenges and problems were scheduled, which were carried out alternately with presentations by company representatives in a convention of “spot-light sessions.” The thematic area of the consecutive panels was formulated in slogans under such titles as: “Innovation in energy reduction” – 25.10. / “Innovations and corrugators”. – 26.10. / “Innovations in converting” – 26.10. / “Innovation driven by changing environment, markets and supply chains” – 27.10.23.

The 3-day program included more than 60 spot-lights sessions. In keeping with established custom, the organizers made sure to create an environment for networking, both during breaks in the conference pool debates and in the exhibition hall.

The third day of the Seminar (27.10.) included the announcement of the winners of the competitions, which are carried out traditionally in 5 different categories: Innovation Award, Sustainability Award, Best Presentation Award, Most Inspiring New Member Award and Life Time Achievement. A summary of the event by FEFCO shows that as many as 1150 people registered to participate in the program of this year’s event, a record attendance compared to previous editions of the Technician Seminar (2021: Copenhagen / 2019: Geneva). In the exhibition infrastructure zone, 110 exhibitors installed in 165 booths displayed their offers, who came from 41 countries from both Europe and other continents.

Representatives of SPP member companies Aquila Radomsko-VPK, Eurobox Poland, Mondi Świecie, TFP, TOP-Thimm Opakowania, Werner Kenkel also participated in the course of the event. The office of our Association was represented by J. Turski (director general of SPP).
