AWA to host linerless conference

The inaugural AWA International Linerless Label Conference and Exhibition will be held on June 12-13 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This unique conference is dedicated to learning about market developments, solving problems and meeting colleagues across the value chain and all linerless label application areas. 

The conference is a testament to the significant growth and considerable interest throughout the industry's many applications, such as logistics and transport, warehousing, retail and fast-food package sealing.

With already over dozen sponsors, this conference is an opportunity for networking and tabletop exhibitions from companies across the value chain. 

The central theme of this year's event centers around sustainability, market growth and technological developments.

The event's strategic co-location with Home Delivery World aims to unite the retail logistics supply chain and establish a firm foundation of material suppliers, converters and equipment manufacturers who are engaged in the development of linerless label technology.

The networking sessions, panel discussion and co-location of both events will help in facilitating conversations and knowledge sharing among professionals in linerless labels and their application areas.

The program starts on June 12 with the keynote presentation on ‘History of Linerless Labeling – A Journey’ by Mike Cooper, a long-term industry leader and advocate of linerless labeling. With more insights from other industry experts, a cocktail reception will follow.

On June 13, two panel discussions and keynotes will take center stage.

The first panel discussion will address ‘The Role of Linerless Labeling in the Circular Economy, Maximizing Sustainability Benefits,’ followed by two presentations, ‘The Future of Linerless Decoration: Unlocking Possibilities in the Packaging Industry’ and ‘Maximizing Efficiency with VI Linerless Labeling Solutions’ by Avery Dennison.

The final panel discussion will be focused on ‘Exploring the Future of Linerless Labeling: Trends, Opportunities and Challenges’.

The conference is taking place at the The Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
