European nonwovens organisation EDANA has announced the programme for the 9th edition of OUTLOOK, its leading personal care products conference, which will take place in Budapest, Hungary from the 22nd to the 24th September 2010.

Included in the programme are sessions which focus on business and future perspectives, retail and consumption trends, emerging markets and developments within the personal care products sector, nanotechnology and bio plastics, sustainability, and EU regulation and legislation.

The keynote speaker will be announced shortly, and will feature a senior economist addressing the topic ‘Global Economic Perspectives’. The 2010 conference is designed to bring together key players within the personal care products industry, providing an environment for delegates to both attend sessions with renowned business consultants and authoritative industry speakers and to also engage their business partners in the various formal and informal networking opportunities offered throughout the event.

The selection of the location for the 2010 Outlook conference is a departure from the Mediterranean locations of previous years, however the advantages of Budapest as a gateway to the growing eastern markets, and a cost-effective and central location for delegates was seen as a critical element to attract the industry’s key representatives.

EDANA welcomes both its members and non-member representatives from the whole supply chain to the event, which attracts key industry players from Europe and across the globe. A copy of the full programme, registration forms and current delegate list can be found on the EDANA website, under ‘Events’.
