SUMMARY:Webinar: Unboxing Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Unboxing Inclusion: Elevating Accessibility in Packaging Design\nThe Paperboard Packaging Council is proud to present this webinar on accessibility in packaging with Victoria Watts\, Founder of VictoriaLand Beauty and Innovator & Disability Rights Activist at The CyR.U.S. System. \nVictoria started VictoriaLand in a quest to solve her own personal skincare needs that weren’t being met by the market\, but those concerns quickly took a backseat when her son Cyrus was born with a rare hereditary disorder that affects the retina with symptoms that can include vision loss or blindness. Since then\, Victoria became determined to offer the visually impaired the same ability to experience and enjoy beauty as her sighted friends. \nShe started to experience the world through her son and realized this world could be a more inclusive place for the visually impaired. People who are visually impaired crave independence just like everyone else\, and with today’s technology and resources\, it should be a standard practice that products are packaged in a way that makes them accessible for all. \nWe’re excited for PPC members to have the chance to meet Victoria. We encourage everyone to attend this one-hour webinar and hear her perspective on modern accessible packaging.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Transform Business With Design Thinking
DESCRIPTION:1:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET\nPPC’s Design & Innovation Community proudly presents virtual programming to help designers stay on the cutting edge of innovation and explore the role of design within paperboard packaging.  \nIn this hour-long discussion and networking event\, Bruce Claxton\, a Fellow of the Industrial Designers Society of America\, Innovation Design Strategist\, and professor at The Savannah College of Art and Design for the Design Management Graduate Program\, will discuss ways businesses can transform with new kinds of thinking. Claxton will address why design approaches and creative thinking are of value to industries\, and how the riskiest thing might be doing nothing to adapt or change your business. Claxton will also discuss the shift of commodity design approaches to a more strategic value that design can provide for the industry. Claxton will review several success stories from Motorola Solutions and conceptualize what the mindset is of a successful designer. Ultimately\, Claxton will lead a lively discussion and provide ways in which attendees can reduce risk with innovation.
