EFIBCA Open Meetings and Receptions

EFIBCA’s Open Meetings and Dinner Receptions occur alternatingly every 1.5 years, and anyone working in the FIBC industry is welcome to attend. At Open Meetings, experts give insights into important issues affecting the industry, ranging from new European legislation, to market overviews, safety and quality, and corporate social responsibility.

EFIBCA Dinner Receptions are conceived as the branch’s regular kick-off to the packaging trade fair interpack.

Both are perfect platforms for information exchange and networking across the FIBC industry.
