DuPont Packaging Graphics today announced that the 7th Grand Prix Cyrel® and the International Flexo-Print-Pack Congress will be now celebrated in spring 2007, a 3-4 months later than they were originally scheduled.

As a result of the positive feedback from customers, jury members, speakers and co-sponsors willing to attend the 7th Grand Prix Cyrel® and the International Flexo-Print-Pack Congress, a new date will be arranged to provide an opportunity for a larger audience to participate.

"DuPont Packaging Graphics has set very high standards for the Grand Prix Cyrel® and the International Flexo-Print-Pack Congress, including high-quality speakers and co-sponsors. Lately, we have been informed that a significant number of speakers and co-sponsors would have been unable to participate in the event originally scheduled for November 3-5, 2006," says Pier Luigi Sassanelli, Marketing Communications and Brand Manager, DuPont Imaging Technologies.

"The Grand Prix Cyrel® competition is a key event for the whole flexo industry. In the past 25 years, the Grand Prix Cyrel® has demonstrated to be a perfect platform for strategic thoughts and discussion for all packaging specialists attending from across the globe. Participants know of its high standards and we at DuPont are not willing to compromise on these. As a result, the DuPont Business Leaders, the speakers and the co-sponsors have agreed to rearrange a new date and location for the 7th Grand Prix Cyrel® and International Flexo-Print-Pack Congress." confirms Pier Luigi.

Registrations to attend as well as application to win the ‘7th Grand Prix Cyrel® Package Giveaways’ will automatically be transferred to the spring 2007 dates.

DuPont will also release an additional update program and registration form with a new registration deadline. A new cancellation policy for those who have already registered, but who cannot attend in spring 2007, will be released within a few days.

The DuPont Packaging Graphics Marketing Communications Team will work over the next few weeks to reconfirm or replace jury members, speakers, co-sponsors and location for the spring 2007 dates.
