WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US
STRATEGIC CLARITY
PEER LEVEL EXCHANGE
ACTIONABLE IDEAS
Gain direction in a market that is changing fast.
Engage in exclusive dialogue with owners and entrepre-neurial families from the packaging industry.
Walk away with practical ideas and tools you can put to work in your own company.
No company shapes the future on its own. For independent, family-owned businesses in the packaging industry, strong connections are becoming essential to long term success.
PAC 2026 will once again bring together family entrepreneurs who think across generations and take an active role in shaping what comes next.
The focus will be on the questions that matter most to our industry:
How can we stay independent while becoming more powerful together?
How can we strengthen our position in a market shaped by large players?
And how can independent entrepreneurs collaborate in ways that create real value?
Expect fresh perspectives from experienced experts, strategic inspiration and meaningful conversations with entrepreneurial peers who are ready to learn from one another and think ahead together.
"Connected future" starts with the right network.
KEYNOTE
CONNECTED FUTURE:
Turning diversity into strength.
Turning cooperation into market power.
The rules of the industry are changing. In the future, will our strength still come from our own company alone?
In his keynote, Jürgen Heindl will show why cooperation is becoming a strategic lever for independent, family-owned businesses in a new competitive reality.
He will offer a forward-looking perspective on entrepreneurship that rethinks independence and collaboration, and shows how trust, shared goals and entrepreneurial conviction can unlock new possibilities.
