News and events


The 2026 International Conference on Industrial Packaging is being led by the US association (IPANA), Reusable Industrial Packaging Association (RIPA) and European Industrial Packaging Association (EIPA) the Japan Drum Reconditioners Association (JDRA).

SEFFI will schedule its own AGM on the days preceding this event, in the same location, to make attendance of both events easier.

On the theme of the circular economy, the initiative will include a comprehensive line-up of speakers discussing key issues facing manufacturers and reconditioners of industrial packaging. Business trends, technical, regulatory and environmental issues related to our industry will all be covered. And there will be plenty of networking opportunities, to talk about shared concerns with colleagues from over 25 countries. Exhibits by industry suppliers and a cultural programme complete the agenda.

The International Conference on Industrial Packaging takes place every 3 years and is shared between the European, Asian and North American sectors. With the last event being in 2023, hosted by Europe in the wonderful city of Ghent, the 2026 event will take place in Las Vegas, USAs, which is an iconic city in the Nevada Desert.

The full conference details are currently being planned and we will be able to provide more information towards the end of this year.
