Sustainability Seminar - Dublin

Free to POPAI members, this half-day seminar will use bite-sized case studies, panel session discussions & primary research from across the industry to share best practice throughout the entire lifecycle of display. 

We’ll hear from forward-thinking industry professionals covering all stages of P-O-P from inception, through the design & manufacturing stages, looking at best practice in plant & premises efficiency, supply chain management, logistics and innovative end-of-life scenarios.

POPAI will share with delegates highlights from recent research into compliance & sustainability, industry best practice, benchmarking and trends information within the remit of sustainable design.
