Esko Unboxing Live returns in October

Esko has opened registration for the second edition of Unboxing Live, a free global virtual summit for packaging and label professionals taking place October 13-14, 2026, featuring dedicated content tracks for brand owners and converters alongside live translation into more than 60 languages.

The two half-day programs open each day with a plenary session, one covering key trends shaping the future of packaging and labeling and another providing an update on the Esko technology roadmap. Converter-focused sessions will address automation, AI, connectivity and evolving print technologies for production and prepress efficiency. Brand owner sessions will cover managing complex packaging portfolios, accelerating artwork and approval processes, strengthening compliance and making better use of packaging data. Customer interviews will share first-hand experiences of how packaging organizations are addressing current challenges.

The event will be delivered in English with live translation available in more than 60 languages and includes live interaction opportunities with speakers and Esko specialists throughout both days. Registration is free and open on the Esko website.

'Packaging is going through an unprecedented pace of change,' said Jan De Roeck, marketing director of industry relations and strategy at Esko. 'Unboxing Live will offer dedicated content tracks for brand owners and converters, bringing together industry trends, practical expertise, customer experiences and the latest developments from Esko. A key focus is making sure attendees leave with real, practical takeaways they can apply the very next day.'
