Printed Packaging Summit 2026 - First Speakers Announced
We're delighted to announce the first confirmed speakers for Printed Packaging Summit 2026. As always, we're bringing together industry experts who are tackling some of the biggest challenges facing packaging today – from data and compliance to digitalisation and production – with practical insights, real-world examples and lessons learned.
Lior Krasnovsky, Tech Business Developer at Amazon, will present The Challenges and Best Practices of Sharing Serial Numbers with Your Retailer. Drawing on three years of experience with Amazon Transparency, Lior will share what brands have learnt about exchanging serial number data with retailers, where projects succeed, where they go wrong, and the practical steps organisations can take to build accurate, reliable and scalable data-sharing processes as connected packaging continues to evolve.
Claudia Rivinius (STI Group) and Christoph (info.link) will take to the stage together for an interactive live demonstration that brings packaging compliance to life. Rather than talking about what's possible, they'll show it happening in real time – demonstrating how packaging, product data and compliance can work together through practical, evidence-based approaches. Discover how companies are using technologies such as GS1 Digital Link and the Digital Product Passport to digitalise packaging information, improve transparency and create scalable systems that can be implemented across the organisation.
We'll be announcing many more speakers over the coming weeks, including leading brands, converters and technology providers, as we continue to build a programme focused on the future of printed packaging in a data-driven world.
