The GC Perspectives Forum - for thought leaders

Once a year, the GC Perspectives Forum 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 is why we took a deliberate creative break in 2026. We have used 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. The result is the new GC Perspectives Forum.

Look forward to 2027: We’ll be back with fresh ideas, new perspectives and a burst of energy. We know the anticipation is building – and we promise you: it’ll be worth the wait.

We’ll be announcing the date and venue shortly. All we’ll say for now is this: April 2027 is going to be something special.

Do check back regularly – we’ll keep you updated on our progress.
