• Why are we co-locating now - what's the vision?

    The events calendar has never been more crowded. Your time is finite. Your budget is finite. And you deserve more from the events you choose to attend.

    The co-located Global FilmTech Forum is our answer to that. By bringing three closely related industry communities under one roof, we can offer something no individual event can: the depth of a specialist conference combined with the scale of a major industry gathering. Your niche track still runs exactly as you'd expect — but now you’ll have access to a larger exhibition, a more diverse network of potential collaborators, and richer side conversations in the corridors.

    This isn't a merger. It's an upgrade.

  • Meet the entire flexible packaging value chain

    Connect with decision-makers and technical experts from every stage of the flexible packaging industry. From resin and additive suppliers to film producers, converters, machinery manufacturers, brand owners and recyclers, the event brings together a highly targeted audience actively seeking new technologies, materials, partnerships and solutions.

    With more than 90% of attendees representing core packaging and materials sectors, exhibitors gain direct access to the companies shaping the future of flexible packaging.

Why this event matters

  • The event's mission and objectives

    Our mission is simple - maximize the value you get from every hour you invest. That means :

    • Sharper sessions
    • More decision-makers in the room
    • A format built around meaningful connection - not just attendance

  • The value and unique benefits of the co-located event

    • Specialist depth - Dedicated tracks preserving the technical rigour and focus you need and expect.
    • Cross-industry reach - Connect with peers you'd never encounter at a single-theater event.
    • Stronger exhibition - Meet more of the right partners and qualified buyers – thanks to our bigger more vibrant show floor.
    • Better ROI - Comparable pricing to usual AMI events, but far more opportunity packed into the same trip.

  • What's new and different 

    The agenda runs across 2.5 intensive days, enough time to go deep in your primary stream, explore adjacent sessions, work the exhibition floor, and still make the most of a dedicated evening networking sessions and evening party. We've deliberately designed the schedule to avoid forcing you to choose between the conference room and the show floor. 

    The exhibition showcase is significantly larger than anything we've run before, with a broader mix of suppliers, technology providers, and service companies spanning the full FilmTech ecosystem. Expect more to see, more to discuss, and more reasons to stay on the floor.
