Label Summit Latin America to debut in Chile

Label Summit Latin America 2017 will take place May 16-17 at Espacio Riesco in Santiago, and is aimed at trade professionals including printers, label and packaging designers, and brand owners.

The 14^th edition of the summit event will feature a full conference program featuring a range of informative presentations with Q&As, real life case studies and panel discussions. These sessions are each designed to give a deeper insight into the different aspects of new technologies, market trends and challenges facing the wider industry. The conference will close with an interactive wine tasting workshop. 

A two-day table-top exhibition supports the conference and will feature over 70 leading industry manufacturers and suppliers, such the event’s gold sponsor Avery Dennison. Show visitors will be able to learn more about the newest available technologies and options designed to lower production costs, add value, improve quality and create a more efficient workflow. To date, confirmed exhibitors include Antalis, Armor, Bobst, Epson, Etirama, Flint Group, Fujifilm, HP, Mark Andy, MPS, Nilpeter, Oji Papeis, Ritrama, UPM Raflatac and Xeikon.

Ronaldo Mello, vice president and general manager, Materials Group, Latin America at Avery Dennison, commented: ‘Participating in Label Summit Latin America is the perfect opportunity to reach a larger audience in one important location for our business, especially since Chile is a strong market for Avery Dennison in the wine and spirits segment.’

Tasha Ventimiglia, Americas event director for Labelexpo Global Series, explained that, as investment into Latin America by leading global brands and major retail groups continues, so the demand for labels grows.

‘Latin American label converters are becoming ever more global in their aspirations and markets and Chile is one of the continent’s most promising countries for healthy growth and commercial gain. With ongoing operational and technical challenges facing this ever-growing sector, Label Summit Latin America’s main purpose is to highlight and make clear the key factors needed to facilitate growth and competitiveness in the market. Bringing together industry experts, the Summit will arm printers well with the knowhow and contacts gained from topical and educational conference sessions and supreme networking opportunities.’
