Packaging Strategies calls for abstracts for the 2012 Global Pouch Forum
Abstract Guidance
- Pouch or pouch-related flexible packaging technology/innovation, process, machine system, contract service, and supply chain improvement topics (pre-commercial and commercial) will be considered for presentation.
- Presentations that provide validated data, findings, or non-commercial-oriented results will be given consideration over marketing-oriented presentations.
- Consumer, retail or segment forecast trend presentations are highly encouraged.
- Presentations that include co-presentation by an end-user customer will be given the highest consideration.
Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words and must include:
- Abstract title
- Presenting company
- Anticipated presenter's name/title/contact information
- Complete company contact information
- Technical description of the base material, converted package, process, or service

Your presentation can include a comparative return on investment analysis of the technology, process, or service or other consumer or end-user benefits as appropriate
- List of technology/commercialization development partners
- Current or expected commercial applications
- 3 to 6 bullet point "Key Learning Points/Takeaways" describing what attendees could reasonably expect to learn from hearing a presentation on this technology, process or service as it applies to the global pouch or pouch-related flexible packaging marketplace
