During the four-day APPEX 2024 trade show, PKN Packaging News called on exhibitors and visitors to drop by our stand for our livestream podcast, the APPEX Files, to share the latest news and innovations, along with their views on the success of the industry’s biggest trade show.
As media partner to APPEX, PKN exhibited at the show on stand B095, together with sister media brands Food & Drink Business and Print21, and recorded short livestream conversations, speaking to visitors and exhibitors about their APPEX experience and innovation on the show floor.
Once again, the industry response to the livestream was resoundingly positive, with participants lining up to join the conversation, as it offered a fresh approach to delivering content, and a relatable way for our industry's professionals to share their news and views.
In case you missed it, here's who we spoke to.
