LMAI (Label
Manufacturers Association of India) has recently announced the 6th biennial
LMAI conference 2023 themed, “Creativity-Innovation-Sustainability”, to
be held at Jaipur on 20th to 23rd July 2023. The
registrations for the same have begun. The main conference is slated to be organised
at hotel The Leela Palace Jaipur and due to the big number of delegates
expected, accommodation is also arranged at Hotel Fairmont Jaipur, just a few
minutes away. The Leela Palace is nestled
against the majestic backdrop of the Aravalli range. It boasts over eight acres
of landscaped gardens and an enviable location - near key heritage and tourism
sites within the ancient city complex. The majestic splendor of Rajputana
heritage at this landmark structure uses traditional thikri craft, inlaid
mirrors, Shekhawati paintings and silver foiled domes in its decor. The second hotel, the
Fairmont Hotel is an ode to Jaipur, popularly known as the pink city, through
awe inspiring architecture and decor, inspired by the Mughal Dynasty and
Royal Rajputs of yore. This luxury Jaipur hotel is also nestled amongst
the majestic Aravalli hills, all 199 rooms and suites are elegantly
appointed, to reflect a perfect blend of traditional Rajasthani décor and
modern amenities. Over 600 delegates consisting of label printers, leading
industry suppliers from India and around the world and media are expected to attend
this biggest event of India’s label industry.

In 2011, writing
the preview of the first ever LMAI
conference, which was held at Hotel Park Hyatt Goa, the author wrote in this
blog, “History is being created”. So true it turned out to be! The 2011 LMAI conference
titled “Innovations Unlimited” was an immense success. Now 12 years on, we
nostalgically look back to rejoice the value of this biennial event that brings
the entire Indian label industry, including printers and suppliers, together
for 3 full days to network, share knowledge and party together. In 2011 the
progressive Indian label fraternity was elated by the presence of suppliers and
media from destinations around the world and the journey has moved on with
growing numbers of delegates at the conference. The large congregation
justifies the saying, “More the merrier.”

The previous editions of LMAI conferences have
been held at venues that include Goa-2011, Goa-2013 Jaipur-2015, Agra-2017,
Kochi-2019, due to the pandemic 2021 had to be cancelled and now planned to be
held at Jaipur 2023. The number of delegates has been steadily growing, from
just 271 in the first showing, it is likely to cross over 600 in the
forthcoming conference. The label industry has been undergoing a tremendous
transformation in the ensuing period. India is already or almost, the most
populated country in the world. It is one of the five largest economies with a
young population having median age of 29 years and a huge young population
being educated and coming out of universities and skill development centers.

so is the demand for labels and packaging.
Labels have always been registering a robust double digit CAGR (compounded annual
growth rate). Currently there is an increasing number of new entrants in label
manufacturing leading to intense competition as well. In a continuously
evolving scenario, LMAI has been putting across message to its members to adopt
innovations that will result in value addition. However, this year sensing the
imperative need for industry to implement sustainable manufacturing processes,
LMAI in this year’s theme for the conference is putting across a message to be
creative and innovative along with a focus to manufacture products that are
sustainable and have reduced impact on the environment. Thus, the theme “Creativity- Innovation- Sustainability.”

Delegates partying! |
The LMAI
organizing team works hard to put together a variety of programs along with
technical presentations, to liven up the moods of their members who attend the
conference. There is knowledge sharing, entertainment, partying, motivational
presentations, and a lot of fun. Already 31 leading industry suppliers led by
platinum sponsors Avery Dennison have confirmed their support as sponsors for
this prestigious conference. There are still many others who are in-waiting to
confirm their sponsorship. Once the list is complete and the offer for
sponsorship closed, the complete list will be shared with industry. The
memories of these wonderful events linger on, triggering yearnings to have more
such events that bring this colourful industry together.
