Cost Cutting, Sustainability, and New Technologies at CMM

Q: In light of the current economic situation, will CMM offer conference sessions or other show features geared toward surviving these tough times?

A: While we are not specifically addressing the economic situation, our conference sessions and show floor offerings are directed toward increasing converters’ productivity and efficiency and improving their bottom lines, regardless of the global economy. The conference program has been completely reworked for CMM International 2009. We have a new conference director, Brendan O’Neill, who has structured the conference sessions into three informational tracks: Business Management, Technology, and Operations. The conference session tracks will take place June 2 and 3, while June 4 is reserved for the Sustainability Mega-Session, where experts across all segments of the industry will come together for a roundtable discussion about the state of sustainable packaging and what the future holds.
