The question and answer
The source is labeled July 2025 but describes an event scheduled for February 12–13, 2025 at the NEC in Birmingham. Both are historical, and the publication-versus-event chronology remains an explicit source limitation.
Do not repair history by invention
The cached record does not resolve why a later publication describes an earlier event as upcoming. This independent note preserves that discrepancy instead of changing the date or presenting the invitation as current.
Keep the useful buying question
An innovation theme can prompt a review of structure, material and finishing needs. Ask what the selected proposal changes in the actual packaging brief; an event mention is not proof of a technical outcome.
Date and source boundary
This independent review was prepared in October 2026 from the cached source topic. Historical dates and announcements describe their original context; no current event invitation or unverified participation outcome is implied.
