The edition scheduled for January has been postponed due to the latest developments in the pandemic. The 2022 edition will bring together the community of packaging innovators for beauty, premium beverages and aerosols for a summer edition, on June 29 & 30, 2022 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles..
Easyfairs, global event organizer, announces that ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2022, the world's leading event dedicated to innovations in packaging for beauty, premium beverages, aerosols and dispensing systems, will be rescheduled from its current dates in January 2022 to the new dates of June 29 and 30, 2022.
"Over the past few months, the Easyfairs team has been working tirelessly with event partners, exhibitors and the entire community to prepare for the next edition of ADF&PCD and PLD Paris in January 2022. This edition promises to be the biggest ever in the event's 21-year history. However, following the latest developments in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and after consultation with many of the event's key players, it has become clear that it will be impossible to to organize a successful event in January".say the organizers.
Many countries are again imposing restrictions due to the current wave of cases, while new cross-border travel restrictions have been put in place since the emergence of the Omicron variant in recent weeks. In addition, the French government recently announced the mandatory third dose of the vaccine for all adults in order to maintain their Sanitary Pass. This new requirement will come into force on January 15, 2022, just a few days before the January event.
With around 50 % of exhibitors and over 30 % of visitors to ADF&PCD and PLD Paris coming from abroad, this set of circumstances represents a force majeure situation for the smooth organization of the event. Easyfairs is convinced that postponing the dates to June is the best way to ensure the success of the event, so that it continues to connect and inspire the international community of packaging developers, designers and suppliers.
The event will be held at the same venue as originally planned, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Renan Joel, divisional director of Easyfairs' packaging exhibitions in the UK and France, comments: "Our mission is to organize exceptional events that connect the packaging community, stimulate innovation and business, and provide a truly inspiring vision of the future. We want to ensure that the next edition of ADF&PCD and PLD Paris lives up to these expectations, and moving the event to June will give the whole community the best chance of participating in the event it deserves. I would like to thank all those involved in our event - exhibitors, associations, media and visitors - for their support in this change of dates. We look forward to bringing them all together in June, and helping them boost their innovations for the year ahead."
