AICC Canada’s Corrugated Collective Continues To Gain Momentum At the AICC Fall Meeting in Chicago last year, George Perreira, President of AICC Canada, introduced the Cor- rugated Collective. The inspiration for the event was to differentiate from a typical trade show environment, and create a structured space where suppliers are guaranteed to connect with decision-makers who are looking to build productive partnerships. Since the event was introduced, more than 50 box and sheet plant owners, CEOs, and senior leaders have com- mitted to attending the inaugural event. To maintain the intimacy of the event, attendance will be limited to 60 VIP box and sheet plant leaders and 60 carefully selected in- dustry suppliers. Jointly hosted by AICC Canada and AICC, The Indepen- dent Packaging Association, the Corrugated Collective will take place February 23-24, 2027, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Unlike a traditional trade show, the event is centered on pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, pairing independent box and sheet plant leaders with carefully selected suppli- ers in a setting built around meaningful conversations and relationship development. Sponsorship opportunities are continuing to fill, but there are still a few slots left. Gold Sponsorship (one re- maining) includes an opportunity to address the audience
during the keynote session, two meeting tables, and up to 18 scheduled one-on-one meetings. A Silver Sponsorship (six remaining) includes an address to the audience during a breakout session or meal, one meeting table, and up to nine scheduled one-on-one meetings. A Bronze Sponsor- ship comes with one meeting table and up to nine sched- uled one-on-one meetings.
With converter attendance already strong and suppli- er opportunities becoming increasingly limited, the Corru- gated Collective is shaping up to be a valuable new addi- tion to AICC’s lineup of events. If your company wants stronger relationships with in- dependent corrugated converters in 2027, this is where those conversations will happen.
