Label Summit Latin America welcomes record visitor numbers

Label Summit Latin America welcomed 708 people to the two-day conference and table-top exhibition held in Mexico City on May 11-12. The event drew more delegates and exhibiting companies than any previous Labelexpo Global Series event in Latin America, and a 50 percent increase on the conference in Mexico City two years ago.

This year’s Summit a saw presentations from industry experts from Latin America, the US and Europe, representing some of the world’s leading label converters, end users, technology suppliers and industry associations. The conference replicated the successful afternoon break-out sessions that were introduced at the Summit in Sao Paulo last year. The afternoons divided into separate management and technology streams, with the former focusing on streamlining production and costs, taking advantage of multi-media platforms, waste management in the label plant and diversifying your business. Technology sessions centered on digital and flexo printing, label applicator technology and the growing use of management information systems.

Conference highlights included a presentation by Mexican marketing expert Alejandro Watson as well as sessions dedicated to the growing private label sector and environmental sustainability. Proctor & Gamble and Tequila Sauza provided the end user’s perspective, while other sessions focused on the challenges of a running a family business and security and brand protection.
