Review of the 2023 award ceremony
We invited everyone to the “Meistersaal” historic concert hall at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin on 13 September 2023 to celebrate the award-winning innovations and their creators. Together with 150 guests from the industry, we celebrated the winners and honoured them with resounding applause, a trophy and a certificate. In addition, four coveted Gold Packaging Awards were announced and presented. After all award winners and Gold Award winners had been presented with their trophies and certificates, the industry representatives found time to exchange ideas, reaffirm old contacts and make new ones at our flying buffet.
