Easyfairs, the organiser of Packaging Innovations, has launched the search for its first ‘30 under 30’.
The new initiative is seeking the packaging industry’s 30 ‘most dynamic and influential professionals’ under the age of 30.
Professionals working in the industry are encouraged to self-nominate if they are under 30, or nominate eligible colleagues if they believe they have contributed significantly to the sector.
Entrants will be judged by a panel of industry experts looking for young professionals who, thanks to their excellence and commitment, are making a real difference to their organisation and/or the wider breakbulk industry. The official ‘Packaging 30 under 30’ will comprise those with the greatest potential to become industry leaders in the future and those who have achieved greatness already, noted Easyfairs.
Renan Joel, Easyfairs packaging divisional director, said, ‘Attracting and retaining the next generation of talent is absolutely critical to the long-term success of the packaging industry. It’s where the industry’s future ideas, innovation, inspiration and leaders will all come from.
‘That’s why we are so proud to be launching our ‘30 under 30’ initiative. We want to identify and celebrate those younger players within the industry and showcase their contribution so far. So, if you know someone who merits being recognised, or you are that person, we want to hear from you.’
The Packaging Innovations 30 under 30 cohort will be celebrated at Packaging Innovations & Luxury Packaging London, set to be held 23-24 September 2020.
Successful applicants will feature in a dedicated gallery on the Packaging Innovations website and will be invited as VIPs and celebrated at Packaging Innovations London itself, with a special drinks reception. They will also be invited, as guests of honour to special packaging events throughout the year.
