Esko World 2025 to underline importance of innovation in overcoming challenges

Esko has been gearing up for the upcoming Esko World event, which returns to St Louis, Missouri, this summer expected to gather more than 500 packaging and label converters, brand representatives and packaging experts. They will discuss the challenges facing today’s packaging industry and the innovations that can help accelerate the go-to-market of packaged goods.

Now in its 34th year, the annual technology showcase from Esko—the leading supplier of integrated software and hardware to global brands and their packaging supply chains—is introducing an innovative new format for its 2025 event, which will be held at the St. Louis Union Station Hotel from June 3 to June 5.

‘We’re excited to again be gathering hundreds of professionals from around the globe for an in-depth and informative few days of sessions and discussions, where we will explore the latest innovations and share our accomplishments, examine industry trends and best practices and overcome obstacles,’ said Joël Depernet, president of Esko.

‘For this year’s packed event, we’ve introduced a new format to make it even easier for attendees to enhance their knowledge. Sessions at Esko World 2025 can be chosen by specific “tracks”, with dedicated presentations, discussions and roadmap groups aimed at those packaging professionals working in labels and flexibles, brand owners, or corrugated/folding carton conversion,’ added Depernet. ‘We will also have a dedicated ‘growth’ track geared toward organizational leaders. This new format will enable us to ensure that every single session across the three days is relevant to everyone in attendance, making this our biggest and most successful Esko World yet.

‘With brands and their packaging converter partners facing an increasingly wide range of challenges, we are constantly developing innovations that meet the rising demand for seamless integration of people, processes, and technology. We remain committed to helping and motivating our customers on their digital transformation journey, and as such thrive with success in the packaging industry.

‘Esko World not only provides a platform for Esko to showcase its latest innovative solutions designed to simplify connections, streamline workflows, and drive business growth by optimizing operations, but it also gives attendees an unrivalled opportunity to enhance their knowledge and influence Esko solution roadmaps, while still enjoying plenty of time to network with colleagues.’

Participants of Esko World 2025 will be able to take advantage of more than 130 sessions, workshops and demonstrations running alongside a showcase of innovative technologies and keynote presentations.

Esko World 2025 will take place from June 3 to June 5 at the St Louis Union Station Hotel, St Louis, Missouri. The full agenda will be published in March 2025.For more information and to register to attend, please visit Esko’s website.
