On April 11, Thekla Heineke and Stefan Mannes present in Munich on packaging trends in Japan and how these can inspire packaging solutions for the European market.

The new conference, Customer-friendly Packaging, inaugurated in 2013, is now the new meeting place for experts in innovative packaging solutions focused on specific target groups. In light of the looming demographic shift, the megatrend toward convenience, and the increasing call for sustainability, industry and retailers must recognize the potential for packaging focused on specific target groups and invest in innovation.

In inspiring keynotes and best practices presentations, as well as interactive formats, the conference highlights marketing and packaging experts who already today focus on customer-friendly packaging and attain positive results for their brands through innovative and intelligent design.

Wow. That was quite a celebration for the 10-year anniversary of kakoii. We thank all 197 friends, partners, clients, colleagues, and companions-along-the-way of the last decade who celebrated with us late into the next morning.

Special thanks go out to Jim Avignon for a breathtaking concert, Iss Kind Iss for the wild hog that found its way into our garden, Theo Lighthart for his Korn, and Dr. Go for stimulating drinks.

We will see each other again . . . no, not in 10 years, but in 2013 for a new edition of kakoii’s annual reception.
