This exhibition is an essential event in the sector since it provides the guarantee of meeting the largest representation of buyers from the perfumery and cosmetics sector, but also from the pharmaceutical, food, wine & spirits and automotive sectors.

“For this 2019 edition, we are proposing new devices to develop the visitor experience in situ. This will be reflected on the show, but also outside, via the website and social networks between two editions. Each visitor can make his or her own programme and prepare ahead of time for his or her visit, journey and meetings at the show,“ explains Allison McEntyre Gaharan, Director of the ADF&PCD Portfolio.

Conference program

The ADF and PCD conference programs benefit from technical topics and are developed in collaboration with the leading cosmetics brands and in connection with aerosol. Innovation, technology transfer and sustainable development are the main topics.
The objective of these two days is to give new perspectives to overcome the challenges of the industry by highlighting the technical innovations of aerosol packaging and beauty, and the strategies to be put in place for the future of the aerosol and cosmetics market.
