Careers in Corrugated International Teleconference


Each year the International Corrugated Packaging Foundation (ICPF) conducts an interactive, Careers in Corrugated Packaging & Displays Teleconference for packaging, graphic design, marketing & sales, business, engineering, supply chain and related students from colleges and universities across North America. Corrugated packaging & displays industry executives present topics of interest to students and faculty, and answer questions from the 400 - 500 students participating from 15 to 20 remote campuses. The Teleconferences are moderated by recent graduates or student interns who were prepared and then recruited to the corrugated packaging & displays industry through  ICPF's resources. The Teleconference is not a webinar, but an actual, interactive video broadcast utilizing PBS producers and their studios in East Lansing, Michigan. The two hour conference also includes the live  "Best of the Best" student design presentation competition with cash awards to competing student teams.

The evening before the Teleconference, ICPF hosts its annual student / executive dialogue dinner where top students join the Teleconference speakers and local industry executives for dinner to learn more about corrugated packaging & display industry careers.

Faculty are encouraged to contact info@icpfbox.org or call 703.549.8580 for participation information for this year's teleconference.
