It is almost time to get together. ARE YOU READY!!!! Things are starting to turn to the better and our 2021 Member Conference is going to be virtual. But with Zoom Meetings and the Whova App it presents an opportunity for us all to still get together live via Meet Ups and other planned networking sessions. You can set up special chats with other attendees. Just like you would during lunch or a coffer break when you would pull them aside to catch up. Our goal is to use the technology available to us continue delivering an engaging and rewarding experience. 2021 will be all about members supporting members, personally and professionally in the IAPRI packaging research community by those transferring knowledge of past research by presenting and the rest of us by attending. The sessions are June 15-17 for just 3-4 hours each day. The concurrent sessions will be recorded so you catch a presentation that was conflicting with another at the same time. Or, if you are in a really different time zone you can see the recorded presentation.
