This year’s tutorials include a variety of package permeation, food safety, shelf life and market-specific (beverage, medical device/pharma) topics.

Each webinar will be taught by a subject area expert with significant experience in the topic. Presenters typically speak for 30-40 minutes, supported by online graphics, charts, key information, photographs, etc. After the formal part of the presentation, participants are able to ask questions.
