THE regulatory forum for food contact...
Plastics & Paper in Contact with Foodstuffs and Extractables and Leachables will co-locate again in 2010 in the beautiful and fascinating city of Berlin, Germany. Building on the success of last year's dual conference in Dublin, we will once again bring together packaging safety professionals from the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries to share ideas and discuss regulatory developments in the packaging sphere.
Here's what some of you thought of last year's eventin Dublin:
"Interesting difference in two conferences but an excellent combination which should be kept the same in the future. A win-win combi"
Chris de Ries, Notox BV
"The best conference to bring together all interested in the field"
Anna Gergely, Steptoe & Johnson LLP
"Again this conference was a great occasion to meet regulators, laboratories, consultants, industry representatives, in fact all groups which are involved in the chain"
Norbert Petereit, Sasol Wax GmbH
"From an organisational perspective the best event I've been to"
Bram Jongen, Helvoet Pharma
Production is underway for the 2010 conference, and we are looking forward to delivering yet another high quality speaking programme for you, spanning 4 days in early December, the perfect time to do some Christmas shopping in the heart of the German hinterland.
If you didn't get a chance to attend but would like to find out what was discussed, you can still purchase the proceedings on CD. Please contact Stephen Frier for more information.
