ICE USA is the premier event for the entire converting community, offering a hands-on look at the latest equipment, solutions and technology available in the marketplace. A multitude of educational sessions will also be available, including AIMCAL’s full day Fundamentals sessions taking place the day before the show opens, the ICE Technical Conference, and the Future of Converting Theater, featuring experts discussing the latest issues facing the industry. Topics will include:

• Cannabis packaging: One of the industry’s fastest growing market segments
• Closing the technology skills gap
• Industry 4.0: Benefits, costs & challenges
• Mergers & acquisitions
• E-commerce
• Maximizing machine efficiencies

“Our goal is to provide even more education sessions at the 2019 show, that not only showcase the latest technology and solutions in the industry, but also show attendees how to be more efficient and cost-effective in their jobs with knowledge they can take back to the workplace and implement immediately,” said Julie Ford, ICE USA Exhibition Manager.

“One of the highlights of ICE USA has always been the strong line-up of speakers, industry fundamental workshops, and technical education sessions for professionals at all levels in the converting industry,” said Matt Fyffe, Vice President and General Manager of Meech International.

The popular Ask the Experts segment will be featured again, allowing attendees to connect with industry experts ready to answer any questions they might have and problem solve business ideas.

Hotel registration is also open. Discounted room rates for show attendees are available until March 15, 2019 but rooms are selling out quickly.
