AICC Canada To Host Inaugural Corrugated Collective In Niagara Falls

AICC Canada, in partnership with AICC International, will introduce a new event to the industry calendar with the inaugural Corrugated Col- lective, scheduled for February 23–24, 2027, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Held at the Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview, the invitation-only event will be structured to create focused, meaningful interaction between in- dependent box plant leadership and the suppliers who support them. Limiting attendance to invited guests will ensure a fully committed and qualified audience and promote more meaningful networking con- versations. To qualify as a hosted guest, you must be an owner of any sheet plant or corrugated box plant in North America and an AICC mem- ber in good standing with either AICC Canada or AICC International. AICC will cover event costs for qualified executive attendees.

For suppliers, the in-person access to decision-makers is invaluable. The event will feature pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings with vetted executives, allowing for direct, uninterrupted dialogue. These meetings are supported by additional networking opportunities across receptions, meals, and informal gatherings, creating multiple touchpoints over the two-day program. Supplier participation will be capped, with registration set at $350, not including travel or accommodations. Sponsorship opportunities will also be limited, with an emphasis on maintaining the event’s smaller scale and ensuring balance between attendees. Organizers describe the Corrugated Collective as a response to the limitations of more traditional trade show environments. By narrowing the audience and structuring interactions in advance, the event aims to reduce distractions and make better use of participants’ time. The ap- proach is expected to resonate with both independent converters and supplier partners looking for more targeted engagement. The concept was first introduced during the AICC Fall Meeting, where early interest signaled an appetite for a different kind of industry event— one that leans into the relationship-driven nature of corrugated while acknowledging the time constraints facing today’s leadership teams. At its core, the Corrugated Collective is built around the idea that strong business relationships are still formed through direct, in-per- son conversation. By bringing together a pre-qualified group of deci- sion-makers and structuring time, AICC Canada is aiming to create an environment where those conversations can happen more naturally. Space is limited for this event to ensure a meaningful experience for all attendees. If you are interested in attending or reviewing sponsorship options, contact Leah Gardiner at admin@aiccbox.ca.
