Hybrid Software, a leading innovator of packaging design and visualization software, today announces the Fusion Packaging Summit 2026, which will take place April 19 – 22, 2026 at The Westin Sarasota, Florida. The summit brings together customers, partners and prospects from trade shops, packaging converters, and global brands, as well as industry analysts and experts, for a comprehensive program focused on innovation, technology, and collaboration within the packaging sector. Attendees can expect in-depth technical presentations on emerging technologies and industry trends as well as engaging discussions.
The conference will be highly collaborative so delegates can share best practices and discuss emerging trends with Hybrid Software and an array of partners from the packaging industry. There will be ample opportunity for networking with product experts and fellow entrepreneurs throughout the program, as well as in the social events planned each evening.
“At Hybrid Software, we’re committed to listening to our customers and understanding their needs and aspirations. The Fusion Packaging Summit provides a platform to get together with our customers and partners in North America and plan for the future. For the 2026 event, we’ve booked the entire Westin Sarasota hotel for our customers and industry partners. The diverse agenda will provide relevant tracks for packaging trade shops, print providers, and brands and will cover timely topics including prepress automation, artificial intelligence, and color management for multiple printing technologies including flexo, offset, gravure, and digital printing,” says CEO Mike Rottenborn.
The inaugural Fusion Packaging Summit was held in Amsterdam earlier this year and was so successful it was decided to make it an annual event, alternating between North America and Europe. Delegates from 23 countries attended the summit, which featured 22 technical sessions, three factory visits and participation from major industry sponsors.
