Registration is now open for the 2026 FPA FlexForward Conference, an industry event focused on the future of flexible packaging, sustainability, innovation and packaging policy.
Taking place from September 15 to 17, 2026, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the conference will bring together manufacturers, converters, suppliers, brand owners and recyclers to explore the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the flexible packaging sector.
The programme will address key topics such as the state of the US flexible packaging industry, PE and PP market trends, federal and state packaging policy, post-consumer recycled content goals, EPR eco-modulation, flexible packaging design, advanced recycling, mass balance and microplastics.
For startups working in materials, recycling, packaging design, traceability, compliance or industrial innovation, the event can be a useful opportunity to understand where the flexible packaging market is heading and which technical, regulatory and sustainability challenges are becoming priorities for the industry.
The conference will also include educational sessions, industry discussions and networking opportunities, including an opening reception at the Harley-Davidson Museum.
At Radar, we follow events like FPA FlexForward that help connect innovation, regulation and sustainability with real opportunities across the packaging value chain.
