The International Packaging Conclave is a knowledge-sharing interactive platform for the packaging industry that comes together with PackPlus New Delhi every year. It will aim to clarify the role and responsibilities of the packaging industry towards meeting the new FSSAI regulations.

The conclave will feature deliberations on the details of the new FSSAI packaging regulations followed by a panel discussion among leading brand owner companies with case studies as well as technical presentations by international experts and stakeholders. It will delve deeper into the implications of the new regulations on food packaging. The conclave will provide a global platform for brand owners, convertors, raw material suppliers, packaging technologists and consultants. Experts from the European Union have been specially invited to present their experience and perspective on stringent EU Food Laws.
