Few months ahead of Emballage opening - the International Packaging Exhibition in Paris taking place from 17th to 20th of November 2014 - COMEXPOSIUM makes official today its partnership with The Dieline. The shared objective of this partnership is to launch The Dieline Summit in Paris, The Peak of Package Design. The famous American package design conference, The Dieline Conference, is held annually in the United States.
The Dieline Summit will focus on rethinking the future of package design, and will be an innovation summit that gathers the leaders of the package design industry to discuss the issues that designers, consumers, and the world are facing. The summit will take place the 16th and 17th of November 2014, including an evening networking party, aimed at helping EMEA professionals to gain recognition and respect by articulating what design means to their brand, and their expanding role as package designers in this day and age.
The Dieline's Andrew Gibbs will gather forward-thinking designers, design leaders, and thought leaders from worldwide brands, and leading design and design firms to share case studies, discuss hot topics, and create a new dialogue on the future of consumer product design.
"After our first collaboration showing The Dieline Awards winners at EMBALLAGE, we are delighted to host Andrew Gibbs' The Dieline Conference in Paris this year. Indeed, our agreement with TheDieline.com will contribute to reinforce our 2014 EMBALLAGE's motto "The capital place for packaging innovation". And working with Andrew Gibbs, as a young and talented American designer, remains a very good opportunity to better understand the sector trends, our tomorrow clients' needs."

"When I began The Dieline in 2007, I had the goal of creating a resource and platform for the package design industry and its practitioners, leaders, students, and enthusiasts. Our partnership with Emballage gives us the opportunity take this goal to the global stage. It allows us to further our mission of supporting, inspiring, and educating our industry's leaders of today and tomorrow."

About The Dieline
Established in 2007, The Dieline is the brainchild of Andrew Gibbs, who sought daily inspiration while working as a packaging production artist. Noticing a void for package design inspiration on the web, he began to catalogue packaging by googling images snapping pictures of packaging on shelf - often leading to his removal from stores. What began as a personal blog soon became a dedicated platform for the package design industry and its practitioners, students and enthusiasts. Its purpose is to define and promote the world's best package design, and to provide a place where the package design community can review, critique and stay informed of the latest trends and projects being created in the field.
Within two years of its inception, The Dieline became the most visited website on package design in the world, capturing a readership spanning millions across hundreds of countries. Through its rapid growth, The Dieline has expanded beyond a website to include an annual design competition - The Dieline Awards - as well as an annual design conference - The Dieline Conference. The Dieline also published its first book, Box Bottle Bag in 2010, which became the #1 selling package design book on Amazon.
The Dieline remains as the industry's source for package design, ushering a new wave of designers and enthusiasts.
