If women exchange ideas, they can profit and with them so can the entire sector. Interpack deliberately brings international women from the sector together for the trade fair in May. Under the title “Women in Packaging”, on 8 May there will be a first time event explicitly for the women in the sector. The programme features a discussion on stage with top speakers from all over the world as well as opportunities for networking. The event is supported by the WPO – World Packaging Organization – which is contributing its worldwide network.
Like many other sectors, the packaging and processing industry has been predominantly shaped by men. Women in leading positions are especially rare. Yet, companies benefit from more diversity, new impulses and different perspectives, last but not least with regard to the increasing scarcity of trained professionals. “Women in Packaging” at interpack draws attention to barriers and focusses on the sector as an attractive place to work.
