The European Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container Association (EFIBCA), with headquarters in Bad Homburg, Germany, will hold its second Dinner Reception on 3rd May 2017 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Düsseldorf. Everyone with an interest in FIBCs is welcome to attend this networking event on the eve of interpack, the world’s largest packaging trade fair. At a similar EFIBCA event held immediately before the 2014 interpack, over 70 delegates capitalised on the opportunity to meet and establish new business contacts.

 

“Representatives from all aspects of the FIBC industry, and all over the world, converge in one place for the interpack. The Dinner Reception is the unofficial kick-off of the FIBC community before the trade fair,” said EFIBCA general secretary Dr Isabell Schmidt. Those interested in learning more about Europe’s FIBC association and its mission can also visit EFIBCA at the IK booth in Hall 10/E22 at the show.

 

The evening will begin with a cocktail reception at 18:00 followed by greetings from EFIBCA president Roelof Veld and Dr Schmidt. Guest speaker Johann Hofmann will give a presentation on the topic of ‘Industry 4.0’. The registration charge is €119 per person for non-members and €59 per person for EFIBCA members. Included in the charge are a buffet dinner, drinks, and a day ticket to attend interpack. Registration deadline is 14 April. www.efibca.com
