“The FPA Fall Executive Conference is designed to provide information on a specific issue that is of great importance to the flexible packaging industry. A year prior to any Fall Executive Conference, FPA devotes significant resources to thoroughly examine the matter and effect it will have on the flexible packaging industry,” commented FPA president, Marla Donahue.  

During the Fall Executive Conference, Michael Richmond, PhD of PTIS, together with Pira International, will share with attendees the results of unprecedented market research conducted on the influential dynamics of globalization. The study will help flexible packaging manufacturers and suppliers gain insight into the realities of globalization, examine its influence on the U.S. flexible packaging industry, and reveal the opportunities globalization creates within the industry.

The Conference agenda also includes author of Global Manifest Destiny, John Caslione, whose appearance is sponsored by Polymer Packaging, Inc.; Neil Rogers of Procter & Gamble; Amit Sheth of Environmental Packaging International; and a panel discussion on global sourcing strategies with executives from flexible packaging supplier companies.

FPA gives special thanks to all the 2006 Fall Executive Conference sponsors for their generous support of the breakfast and conference breaks sponsored by Flint Group; the FEC Networking Luncheon sponsored by Huntsman; and the FEC Member & Guests Reception sponsored by Pliant Corporation.
