Keynote Presentation: Innovative
Packaging as an Investment
Jeff George, Vice President of R&D, Quaker Oats, a division of PepsiCo

including director of packaging innovation. In his current position, Jeff George
directs all innovation, product, and process efforts for Quaker Oats Foods and
Snacks, and is responsible for how products, processes, and packaging work together.
In this presentation, George will outline the imperative for bringing new ideas
into package development, pose questions that buyers and sellers of contract
packaging services should ask to gauge either other’s ability to be innovative,
and offer ideas for turning the traditional package creation and development
process on its ear to uncover opportunities to create the best possible package
within budget. |
