Good morning America, hello Boston!

"Good Afternoon" in Europe and Africa is "Good Night" in Asia and Oceania is "Good Morning" in America. So while writing this Article here in tiny cheese-town Gouda, The Netherlands (where the NVC association office is located) I very much like to say good morning and hello to everybody in America and especially in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

The reason for this? Two great packaging events there, on Wednesday 10 July 2019 and Thursday 11 July 2019 respectively. The venue for both events? The phenomenal Marriott Warf Hotel in the Boston Harbour (see photo below).

Wednesday 10 July 2019 don't hesitate to join us at the 5th Annual FBEP Conference on HRM and Skills Development (with FBEP as acronym for Future of Business Education in Packaging). Read all here and be there as well or share the info with those in your organization responsible for knowledge development and education-training of the workforce in the field of packaging.

Thursday 11 July 2019 you are very welcome to share your insights with all attendees on the sustained future of our packaging activities in the international workshop Packaging and environment across the Atlantic. The workshop includes a must-see unique 35 mins film produced in 1972 and now fully digitized after nearly fifty years to visualize and share the findings of the Meadows Report to the Club of Rome.

And if you are interested in expanding your knowledge directly, easily and effectively in packaging, you might consider joining one or more of the many NVC Live Online Learning workshops and courses. No travel needed and nevertheless very interactive as the tutors are live in the NVC education studio in Gouda. Other big advantage: you can drink your own coffee ;-) The timing is perfect as well: you just skip the morning traffic jams and join the live online classroom for the 3-hour sessions. Here is all the info you need.

See You in Boston Ma. on Wednesday 10 and/or Thursday 11 July 2019 or Meet You in the NVC Live Online Classroom!

Best wishes from Gouda,

Michael
