Why SID?
SID aims to be the annual event on the sustainability calendar and the ultimate international resource for products, advice and support for all members of the drinks trade.
Finding advice and products which meet current and future sustainability targets is difficult and spread across many different European events. SID sets out to coordinate the information and the producers, to take the lead on this significantly important issue in the drinks trade. This practical and essential conference and exhibition aims to tackle upcoming legislative issues, enable sharing of best practice, generate honest and open debates and provide a showcase for producers, suppliers and advisory bodies.
The organisers have assembled an expert team to provide this much-needed event series. It will bring together those who are leading the way in packaging, products, logistics and professional advice on sustainable practices for the drinks industry and will be at the forefront of sustainability messaging.
This is an unrivalled opportunity to come together and help each other understand the risks and harness the opportunities of a sustainable future – keeping up with the rapid pace of change.
