Esko World Returns To New Orleans For 35th Anniversary Esko has announced that Esko World, the annual technolo- gy showcase that regularly attracts more than 500 visitors from around the globe, will take place from June 3-5 2026 at the Marriott Canal Street Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana. The event, now in its 35th year, will bring together packaging and labels converters, brand representatives and packaging experts, for three days featuring a series of discussions that explore trends, shared obstacles, accom- plishments and best practices across the industry. Hosted in New Orleans, Louisiana, the event will take place from June 3-5 2026, at the Marriott Canal Street Hotel. Keeping On Track Building on the introduction of sector-specific ‘tracks’ at last year’s Esko World - dedicated discussions, presen- tations and roadmap groups for packaging professionals by sector – the 2026 event will introduce new job-specific tracks. “The new tracks can be pre-selected during registra- tion based on job-type, with specific sessions and class- es automatically added to an attendee’s agenda as soon as they are available,” said Esko Marketing Director Jan De Roeck. “From design & optimization, digital flexo color
& print, and packaging intelligence, through to graphics, prepress and product lifecycle - this year’s event will have something for everyone, wherever they work in the pack- aging supply chain. And as always, sessions will cover every sector, from labels, flexibles and corrugated/folding carton conversion and premedia tradeshops through to CPG and Life Science brand owners.” The full agenda will be published in March 2026, and discounted rates are available for early bookings.
