Frink will address the loss of competitiveness among consumer packaged goods producers and their key suppliers in the $120 billion North American packaging industry to an emerging contingent of offshore consumer goods and packaging powerhouse economies. Serving under the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and former Kellogg's CEO Carlos Gutierrez, Frink will address the Department of Commerce's efforts to foster trade relations within the auspices of the World Trade Organization to establish fair but competitive manufacturing and trade policies outside the realm of protectionist measures.

Due to the surge of attendees expected as a result of this important speaker addition, Packaging Strategies has extended the pre-registration cut-off date to March 11. Register at www.packstrat.com.
