The disruptive impact of COVID-19 has all but but put an end to business as usual. Exhibitions and trade shows across the world have cancelled one by one, including 2020 key events like Drupa, Empack, Foodpro and so many more! The Open Packaging Network (OPN Platform) - an already proven global leader of the packaging industry - has created a first ever; permanent; virtual trade show: iPackXPO365! This virt ual platform allows packaging industry staekeholders and decision-makers to meet and showcase their products whilst continuing to drive business deals as if nothing had upended their routine. IPackExpo joins buyers and exhibitors from around the world whilst being in the comfort of your own space.

Unlike physical events iPackXPO365 is highly interactive and user friendly.

Virtual events are now becoming an integral part of corporate marketing strategies. iPackXPO365  is an innovative way to increase conversion rate by reducing cost per lead and maximizing the ROI.

The global crisis has illustrated the need for digital migration, but it has also shone a light on another crisis – climate change. On average, around 600,000 tons of waste is produced at trade shows every year, caused by paper waste and other marketing material. By hosting trade shows and expos online, the packaging industry is taking a major step forward in reducing the carbon footprint.

Why exhibit?

Expose your business to thousands of decision-makers across the globe and expand your network with the verified buyers you would normally connect with at traditional trade shows: 

• Non-stop trade show: 365/24/7. 
• Virtual Company Booth: exhibitor video, instant video calls with lead scoring, live chat with sales staff, inbound meetings, showcase products, live stream product demos with Q&A. 
• Exhibitor Center: company profile, a dashboard to manage your 1:1 and group meetings. 
• Sponsor or organize Video Sessions including webinars, product launches, workshops, and demos. 
• Display your product gallery: suggested products to buy, advanced filters, multiple product categories, save favorite products. 
• Track your ROI with advanced analytics in real-time.

Exposure will also decrease your business’s environmental impact. Virtual trade shows eliminate the use of paper and printed marketing material and cancel the carbon footprint of local and international travel. By exhibiting, your business is showing its commitment to global sustainable change.
