IAPRI Announces the 2024 Packaging World Conference Awards

Voting was conducted by written ballot and electronically via the Whova app and it took some time to compile the data after coming back from Spain. Then the IAPRI board of directors got involved in reviewing the top vote getters to finalize the ultimate winners. This took us some time because it was a different situation from the past and many directors were on holiday.

IAPRI extends heartfelt congratulations to all winners and everyone who presented at the 2024 World Packaging Conference. Your hard work and dedication are truly inspiring. We also want to thank those conference participants that voted and the IAPRI Board of Directors for their diligence and expertise in making these tough decisions.
