June 7 - 9

Rosemont, IL  |  Join us in-person

The Global Pouch Forum launched 25 years ago with the foresight that the Flexible Pouch would be the predominate force in packaging. Today, Global Pouch Forum is the longest-running flexible packaging event. It remains the event to get the most up-to-date information from experts and network with leaders and innovators who develop, supply, buy or recommend flexible materials including pouches, films and machinery. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from executives of top consumer brands, contract service providers and packaging consultants.

The 25th Annual Global Pouch Forum will feature a presentation from Mesirow’s own Louis Mitchell on the topic of maximizing shareholder value through consolidation.
