FINAT, the international association for the self-adhesive label industry, has rebranded its annual congress to reflect greater industry collaboration. Under its new name, the European Label Forum (ELF) will take place June 11-13, 2015, in Amsterdam.
“The annual Congress has historically presented key industry updates and insight,” explains Kurt Walker, FINAT president. “However, we want to enhance the value of our annual event for business and opinion leaders from around Europe and beyond. This is why we have chosen to ‘re-brand’ the conference as The European Label Forum. The new format will provide insights to attendees on items of relevance for strategic decision making, by connecting different areas of interest and expertise through dialogue and interaction.
“Sessions will also map the key transformations reshaping the industry, and in doing so should help to identify opportunities and challenges. In other words, the ELF will offer a unique source of knowledge, experience and networks key to the strategic success of label businesses in an international business environment,” Walker says.
There will also be a preview of the 3rd edition of the FINAT Radar, the association’s half-yearly market overview to be published after the ELF. Also new will be a workshop that will take the shape of a Lean Manufacturing game and exercise during the closing session of the event. In addition, the ELF will be the setting for FINAT’s annual awards presentation.
