Nestlé’s inclusive approach to packaging design is set to come under the spotlight at this year’s Packaging for Retail Success conference, run by Packaging News
Ben Mortimer, packaging design coordinator for zone Europe at Nestlé, will speak at the 8 November conference on how the food giant developed and has implemented the approach.
Mortimer is one of a number of high-profile speakers at the event, which will also see presentations from the London 2012 Olympics, Asda, Unilever, design agencies Pearlfisher and BrandOpus among many others.
