The 2026 ISTA Forum Europe, featuring our flagship TransPack and TempPack events, will take place 7-8 October at the Amsterdam Marriott Hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
ISTA Forum Europe is the premier event for Europe’s transport packaging industry, bringing together experts, innovators, and thought leaders shaping the future of packaging. The forum unites the community to share best practices, explore emerging trends, and showcase real world success stories transforming the global packaging landscape. With two focused events, 35+ sessions, and powerful networking opportunities, you'll gain practical insights, connect with industry leaders, and stay ahead of the latest developments in sustainable transport packaging.
TransPack focuses on research and solutions for optimizing packaging for transport, while TempPack covers technical insights on global temperature-controlled performance packaging.
If you’re driving innovation, tackling real‑world packaging challenges, and passionate about advancing the transport packaging industry, we invite you to submit an abstract and share your insights with a global audience. Selected speakers receive a waived registration.
