European Label Forum 2018 Spotlights Young Managers A Young Managers Club (YMC) workshop has been added to the program of this year’s FINAT European Label Forum (ELF).The 4th edition of the annual ELF takes place in Dublin, from June 6-8. The workshop comes 10 years after the YMC was established in 2008, at the occasion of FINAT’s Gold- en Jubilee congress in Paris, France, to meet an in- creasing need for up-and-coming managers in small to medium-sized, and often family-run, enterprises. These young professionals wanted help in becoming tomorrow’s leaders and to expand their knowledge about self-adhesive labels. The club helps develop emerging management talent by providing needed educational and vocational opportunities. Taking place on Wednesday afternoon prior to the start of ELF, the workshop will include a competition that will see young versus old battle it out in a business simulation workshop. During the main ELF program, the opening keynote speaker on the second day of the event, Sarah Sladek, author, speaker and CEO of XYZ University, will also address the generation question. Her company has helped hundreds of organizations grow membership and reduce turnover among younger generations. She will discuss her experience in helping organizations engage future generations of members and talent and share ideas about best practices. The YMC will also be able to benefit from the forum’s broader program, which will cover a wide range of issues pertinent to labels and packaging so- lutions providers across Europe including. • The European label industry after Brexit; • Diversification of the labels and narrow web in- dustry into short-run packaging; • Intelligent labels and packaging; • Recruitment and retention of talent; • The state of affairs in digital label printing (based on FINAT commissioned research); • The total cost of ownership (TCO) of different label printing technologies; • The latest innovations in brand protection; • Branding your company via online marketing; • Managing food compliance regulations; and • Preparing for upcoming legislation on serializa- tion and tamper evidence. Other keynote speakers are TV commentator and spokesman of former British PM Tony Blair, Alastair Campbell, who will address Brexit; and Professor Noreena Hertz, economist and author, who will offer guidance on how to make the right decisions in an increasingly complex business environment.
