IAPRI Announces Upcoming Conferences for 2021, 2022 & 2023
The IAPRI Board of Directors has been meeting regarding how to approach the next few years relative to our Member and World Conferences.
The coronavirus pandemic caused the 2020 World Conference to be replaced, at the last minute, by an online version. The planned schedule had a Member Conference planned for Mumbai, India in 2021. But the continued health, financial, and travel impact of Covid-19 is anticipated to carry over well into 2021. Therefore, the board has made the following adjustments and decisions regarding future conferences.
30th IAPRI 2021 Member Conference - Online Series
Due to the anticipated continued disruption to world travel, the 30th IAPRI Member Conference will be held in June, 2021 as an online series of live presentations similar to the in-person version of technical track presentations on packaging research from IAPRI members. A Core Committee is currently working on the format and exactly how it will function. Please plan to submit an abstract later in 2020 in anticipation of presenting during the conference. It is anticipated there will be both general and peer-reviewed papers and poster presentations
