We are excited to announce the 2025 ISTA Forum Europe (previously the ISTA European Packaging Symposium), will be held on 7-8 October at the Meliá Barcelona Sky Hotel in Barcelona Spain! The ISTA Forum Europe features our flagship events, TransPack and TempPack. TransPack (previously the symposium general track) focuses on research and solutions for optimizing packaging for transport, while TempPack (previously the Temperature-Sensitive Life Science Product Distribution track) covers technical insights on global temperature-controlled performance packaging.
The ISTA Forum Europe is the premier event for Europe's transport packaging industry, bringing together industry experts, innovators, and thought leaders who are driving the future of transport packaging. Join us to explore industry best practices, emerging trends, and real-world success stories that are shaping the transport packaging landscape.
