ADF & PCD last call for speakers at New York event

The inaugural event is due to take place in New York this September, and the organizer says there remain a limited number of speaker opportunities.

The Aerosol & Dispensing Forum and Packaging of Perfume, Cosmetics & Design events have been run for more than a decade in Paris and their success in the industry has led to the roll-out State-side.

When the event was announced back in November, the event organizer made a call for speakers which has resulted in a program highlighting by some of the most prominent industry movers and shakers.

The New York edition of the event will for the first time specifically address the Americas markets.  The concurrent shows will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, September 13 and 14 of next year at The Altman Building and Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood.

New York has long been the hub of beauty in the States. And as the industry becomes truly global, the city is taking on an ever-greater relevance.
