The GC Leadership Symposium - Forum for thought leaders
Once a year, the GC Leadership Symposium serves as a gathering place for decision-makers in the printing and packaging industry. Here, strategic insights meet an intensive exchange of experiences. Away from the day-to-day business, we connect industry leaders, discuss trends and successes, and set the benchmarks for tomorrow’s management. Exclusive, focused, and inspiring.
2027 - We are taking a run-up to the next level
True innovation requires space and time. That’s why we’re taking a deliberate creative break in 2026. We’ll use this year to fundamentally rethink the GC Leadership Symposium and develop a format that not only keeps pace with the massive upheavals in our industry but also leads the way.
Look forward to 2027: We’ll return with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and renewed energy. We know the anticipation is building—and we promise you: The wait will be worth it.
We are currently in the midst of designing the new format. As soon as the strategy is in place and the first details regarding content and the date are finalized, you’ll be the first to know right here.
Check back regularly—we’ll keep you updated on our progress.
