The Future of Packaging: Take the Lead with Foresight and Strategy
The packaging industry is transforming rapidly, and the next decade will bring changes we can only imagine. The Future of Packaging (FoP) program at PTIS provides a proactive approach to prepare leaders for what’s coming. Led by Certified Futurists, the triennial FoP program equips executives with insights, foresight, and action plans to navigate the packaging landscape of tomorrow. Sponsors join top industry leaders to explore emerging trends and shape the direction of the industry.

The FoP program is the longest-running consortium dedicated to the future of packaging, offering a 9-month interactive, workshop-style curriculum for leaders across businesses, sectors, categories, and the value chain. Collaboration, networking, and strategic insight are at the heart of the program.
