We have been monitoring the evolving situation around COVID-19/Coronavirus, which, as you know, is changing rapidly. The health and safety of everyone at Global Pouch Forum, originally scheduled for June 16-18, 2020 is important to us, and we have decided that this event will be postponed and take place on September 9-11, 2020 at Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Rosemont, IL.
Our top priority is the health and safety of all participants at this event including attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, vendors and staff. Due to the magnitude of the unanticipated public health and safety issues, in addition to increased travel restrictions, we have determined that postponement at this time is the best, most productive approach for all.
We will continue to work very closely with the city of Rosemont, Hyatt Regency O’Hare, and local, state and federal public health authorities to maintain constant communication on this front.

Please look for important follow up communications from BNP Media and The Packaging Group and related vendors that will include logistical details resulting from the postponement. We are 100% committed to the Global Pouch Forum franchise, and accordingly will be rolling over any payment received as a credit for the new dates: September 9-11, 2020.
If you were scheduled to attend in June, these are your immediate next steps:
We value the support and feedback of everyone involved in preparing for this important event. We appreciate your professionalism, patience and understanding during these truly extraordinary times.
