Esko World 2026 opens next week

Esko World 2026 opens in New Orleans on June 3, with more than 500 packaging converters, label specialists, brand representatives and packaging professionals expected for three days of presentations, workshops and technology demonstrations under the theme Jazz up your packaging.

The 35th annual event introduces job-specific tracks allowing attendees to pre-select sessions covering design and optimization, digital flexo color and print, packaging intelligence, graphics and prepress and product lifecycle management. Sessions span AI-powered packaging workflows, cloud-based collaboration, sustainability and compliance, automation, color management, flexo innovation and integrated end-to-end packaging ecosystems.

A highlight of the program is a demonstration called The Big Easy, in which Esko will show how changing on-pack designs can be executed in two and a half days, compressing a process that typically takes weeks, using its latest integrated workflow technologies. Interactive roadmap sessions will also allow customers to engage directly with Esko's product and development teams to influence the direction of future platform development.

'This year's agenda has been carefully curated to ensure every attendee leaves with actionable insight,' said Jan De Roeck, director of marketing at Esko. 'Whether you work in labels, flexibles, corrugated, folding carton, premedia or for a global brand owner, there will be dedicated sessions focused on your specific challenges and opportunities.'
