About Our Events
The SPC Events are the convening place for thought leaders, value chain stakeholders and companies interested in learning, collaborating and taking action in sustainable packaging. The location and central themes of our events change every year, to include current trends, topics, opportunities and challenges the industry faces. SPC Impact is our flagship spring event, open to all. SPC Advance is our fall event, for SPC members. SPC Engage is our deep dive event, normally held outside the US.

Main Stage Collaboration Talks (10 minutes)
In these storytelling-format Main Stage Collaboration Talks, SPC member companies will share the story and outcome of a specific project where they have collaborated with a fellow SPC member to advance packaging sustainability, reduce carbon emissions via reduction, better packaging design, renewable and responsible feedstocks or have aimed to solve a specific recyclability challenge. The showcased projects need to be completed or close to completion to be able to share an effective and tangible outcome.
Powerful Ideas Talks (5 minutes)
Our Powerful Innovation Ideas Talks are 5 minutes, rapid fire talks where our members share their own ideas to solve a specific problem. The goal of these talks is to share their creative thinking to solve big challenges affecting the whole packaging industry, in the big puzzle of climate change. These talks will be featured throughout our Main Stage sessions.
Submissions for both are open until March 29th, 2024.
